Web Accessibility Laws Around the World
Web accessibility is always a Good Thing, but depending on your (or your client’s) context it can also be a Legal Imperative complete with Dire Consequences for failing to toe the mark. Those of us with clients in Britain or Australia, for example, or within the governmental sphere must be especially mindful about accessibility when building sites.
It ain’t exactly fun, but one incredibly useful resource for learning the intricacies of legal accessibility requirements can be found here on UI Access’ accessibility resource links page. (The rest of the site is worth visiting, as well.)
