Website legislation and good practice conformation

Legislation issues relative to our client’s particular market sector will always receive our attention to ensure confirmation with their particular market and overview body. The Financial sector for example has consistently changing requirements for the information displayed and disclaimer notes, these issues will be considered and communicated to our client at the initial stages of development to ensure that conformation is achieved.

Public companies may have higher access and conformation standards required by their governing body than the private sector, these issues and any restrictions to design or content will be advised based upon the relative documentation supplied by the governing body before development begins.

Disability Discrimination Act - Disability non-compliance

As of October 2004, both private and public companies should be aware of part 3 of the Disability Discrimination Act. This act requires websites to meet a required standard to allow effective access to the information contained within a website to the 8.6 million disabled British people. The Disability Rights Commission (DRC), establish in April 2000 to protect the rights of disabled persons by Parliament, will be able to take action for disabled individuals who feel they are discriminated against. This means that the images and text in a disabled discrimination compliant website should be supported by the spoken word.

These and other issues regarding the Government Guidelines and the Disability Discrimination Act will be advised by your account manager at the start of your project to ensure you are aware of any current or future issues.

For more information on these and other legal issues please view Latest News.

Various processes and development standards are put in place to ensure that all clients are offered a full solution for any possible issues.

Resolution Issues

Due to the nature of users and the availability of higher quality hardware at continually reducing prices there are a wide range of resolutions used to view the internet. The resolution is the size that is set on the monitor of a particular computer that a browser uses to view a website, these resolutions may be as small as 640x480, and as the quality of graphic cards and monitors increase so do the viewing sizes of the browsers. Websites developed by our professional designers are viewable in all the current resolution settings; this means that the impression of the website is still as effective when viewed by the lowest resolution as it is by the highest.

Browser compatibility issues

As with the resolution issues of the Internet, there are also issues regarding the browser software, various types of browsers view the websites in different ways; a Macintosh for example may use an Apple browser whilst the most PC users will use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape. Each of these software browser applications will require different coding, testing and configuration to ensure that the website is being viewed correctly by all types.
