With speech synthesis and braille display technology people with a serious sight problem can access enormous amounts of information on the Web. However, Website designers must give a little creative thought to how they design websites if this potential is to become a reality. But this is also a civil rights issue.
Disabled people have a right to access the same information as everyone else.
Now, with the launch of the Websites at Work video, there s no excuse for not making your website accessible. RNIB hopes that when web designers take on board the guidelines in the video the frustrations of inaccessible sites will be eliminated.
