'Designing to Enable'
We are still struggling to get the updated version finished and out there. If you are one of the inquirers who want a copy of the new book please
be patient a little while longer. We have your details and hopefully it won't be too long. There are still CD versions of the original book available
but no hard copies.
Accessible Web and Media Design
Gateshead Access Panel now provide accessible web site design services. Despite the introduction of the
DDA, the majority of web sites are inaccessible to many disabled people. Don't be caught out.
Your organisation or company could be the next one in court!
