The BBC reports this morning that the UK’s largest listed companies are not doing enough to make their websites accessible, a report says.

According to internet company Nomensa, 75% of the FTSE 100 companies it tested did not meet the minimum requirements of the Disability Discriminations Act.

The five most common problems:

1. Poor quality web code

2. Poor use of lists
3. Not using headings and lists
4. Missing alternative text for graphical elements
5. Using pop-up windows

Is your web site compliant? if not, maybe you might want to start thinking about it.
