Before and After Demonstration: Overview - 0 views

  •  
    The Before and After Demonstration is a multi-page resource that shows an inaccessible website and a retrofitted version of this same website. Each web page includes inline annotations that can be activated to highlight some of the key accessibility barriers or repairs. Each web page is also accompanied by an evaluation report to inform the developers on the level of conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

WebAIM: WCAG 2.0 - Polishing the rough edges - 1 views

  • I see no problem with the allowance for alternative versions. Disallowing alternatives will do little for accessibility. Which is better, an inaccessible simulation and an accessible alternative or nothing? If a developer cannot build anything because one version would be inaccessible, then we have no accessibility.

UK Law for websites - RNIB - 1 views

  • What level of compliance should I be achieving? We are not aware of any case which has been brought to court in the United Kingdom to date, so there is no case law guidance. However, we are currently suing BMI Baby over its failure to deal with the poor accessibility of its website. In any event, case law can only provide broad guidance - what websites have to do may vary from site to site. At RNIB, as outlined in our "Surf Right" website accessibility requirements, we recommend that websites exceed the basic level of compliance that the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommend in their Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 1.0 and aim for Double AA compliance. If you are a UK government website you should be aiming to achieve Double AA.
