'DDA Compliance For Websites'
one-day workshop shows how to
maximise your site's accessibility

Whether you are a web manager or developer, DDA compliance for websites is a big issue.

In one highly interactive day we'll teach you the simple, practical steps you can take to ensure your website complies with the Disability Discrimination Act.

At the same time we'll show you how to make your site more accessible to a wider audience. That includes people with and without disability.

Bespoke training
To ensure our DDA Compliance For Websites workshop delivers an appropriate level of training we tailor it to your requirements.

First we speak to you. Then we look at your site. Finally, we design a course that takes your needs into account.

In this way we ensure you gain the full benefit from the day and leave much better equipped to improve your site’s DDA compliance.

What you learn
This is a practical course with exercises to reinforce key principles. During the session we provide expert guidance on:

  • what website accessibility means
  • how to address the needs of users
  • writing or briefing others on how to write accessible content
  • identifying good and bad accessibility
  • avoiding classic accessibility blunders
  • key trends in accessibility.

We also show you:

  • why web accessibility is important
  • how to use enabling technologies
  • how to comply with key standards
  • how to boost accessibility through your content
  • how to specify an accessible website
  • three simple tools you can use to test website accessibility
  • five practical steps you can take to boost the accessibility of any website.

Who should attend
DDA Compliance For Websites is suitable for groups of two to eight people. It can be run as an open course for individuals from different organisations, or as an in-company course for people from the same organisation. A one-to-one master class package is also available.

All information is presented in simple, jargon-free language. No prior technical or legal knowledge is needed.

We recommend this course if:

  • you are concerned that your current site does not comply with the DDA
  • you are planning a new website and wish to maximise its accessibility and ensure it is DDA compliant
  • you are about to revamp an existing site and would like to factor accessibility and DDA compliance into the new design
  • you are a web designer who would like to add accessibility and DDA compliance to your areas of expertise
  • you already have some understanding of web accessibility and DDA compliance but would like to extend your knowledge.
