RNIB campaign for good web design

The RNIB is campaigning for:

  • Companies to recognise that the discrimination created through inaccessible web sites is unacceptable and unnecessary. RNIB urges all companies to take the necessary steps to improve the design of their online services.
  • Web designers to take responsibility to ensure everyone, regardless of ability or disability, can read their designs. RNIB recommends use of WAI's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
  • Companies who have web sites, or who are planning to launch them, to recognise the needs of visually impaired customers. Failing to do so conflicts with the Disability Discrimination Act. RNIB calls on companies to write 'a requirement for accessibility' into design briefs when putting a contract for their web site design out to tender.
  • RNIB urges blind and partially sighted people to contact organisations whose web sites are inaccessible and raise the issue of accessibility directly (you may like to use our standard letters).
