East Devon District Council

East Devon District Council is entirely committed to these fourteen principles. The WAI guidelines define three levels of conformance: Level "A": the site incorporates all the compulsory elements of the WAI guidelines. This gives basic access to most groups of disabled users. Level "AA": the site incorporates all the "should-have" checkpoints. This... brings down all of the significant barriers to users. Level "AAA": the site incorporates all the "may-have" checkpoints. East Devon's website currently meets Level AA following a redesign in 2005, and the company's continuing development of the website aims to adhere to and exceed this standard.

Design for device independence (development of templates for alternative access channels).Read More
