Accessibility may look boring, but what should developers and clients know about web design and the law?

The recently published results of the Disability Rights Commission's audit of 1000 UK Web sites reveal woeful accessibility across the board.

This evening will be about what accessibility means in terms of web design and look at how this affects design, and the legal implications and practical advice about what designers and companies can do.

This subject affects everyone who is designing websites and their clients.

Speakers are:

  • Jon Dodd - a renowned accessibility expert Jon is a director of Bunnyfoot Universality, the UKs first accessibility consultancy. He will be giving a laymans guide about what accessibility is and how the various levels that can be achieved.
  • Ian Haynes, from Cimex, an award winning digital agency, will be exploring in detail the considerations about websites created for high profile clients and Government that are highly accessible yet feature high creative design and production values.
  • Gavin McGinty - solicitor with Masons. Masons, the international law firm behind OUT-LAW.COM. Specialising in e-commerce and intellectual property law, Gavin regularly advises clients on all aspects of e-business. He has written and lectured extensively on the legal aspects of website accessibility, and will give an overview of what the law means for designers, owners and users of websites.
Since the subject is highly topical, if you wish to address any panel member, please email your question to Janice Cable so that everyone gets the most out of the evening.
