Frog Box Design is a member of the Guild of Accessible Web Designers this means we specialise in creating stylish, professional and truly accessible web designs. We build sites that are easy to use. We build sites that contain concise, relevant content. Most importantly, we build websites using Web Accessibility Initiative recommendations and standards‑compliant XHTML and CSS code to ensure the same level of experience for everyone.
The Disability Rights Commission’s Code of Practice states:
All organisations that provide goods, facilities or services to the public, whether paid for or for free, are covered by the Disability Discrimination Act, no matter how large or small they are. [1]
Part 3 of the Disability Discrimination Act came into force in October 2004, meaning that every business needs to tackle physical barriers to Britain’s 8.6 million disabled people.
Although there has not yet been a prosecution under the DDA in the UK, there have been several high profile actions brought elsewhere; the Sydney Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games was successfully sued due to the Sydney Olympics website being inaccessible, and a suit was brought against AOL by America’s National Federation of the Blind claiming that the Internet supplier’s service was inaccessible.
It makes good business sense for organisations to demonstrate an inclusive and ethical approach – a good image will have an impact on customer perception and buying behaviour.
The websites we design are accessible to the widest possible audience, which brings your business many extra benefits.
