Story: Most UK Web sites break accessibility laws
Too Early
As a web developer I can say from a experience that companies can often show complete apathy when the subject of accessibility is raised. I generally try to implement a minimum level of accessibility into a site regardless, however if I have to raise an issue with the site that is prevents this minumum accessibility they want it done 'their' way regardless of the accessibility impact.
On the flip side of this it seems to be more common place for companies to get contacted by 'Accessibility' Experts' claiming that their web site is illegal, it's bordering on scare tactics in my opinion. We haven't got a legal benchmark yet so until a court of law confirms just exacly what constitutes illegal none of can say for sure !
