(Mods feel free to move this - I wasn't sure where to post)<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any experience of creating text-only sites for users with disabilities? Here in the UK the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act will be coming into force from 1st September 2002, which means all educational/government funded sites must comply with these rules.<br />
<br />
This means I've got a lot of work do do in the next few months, creating text-only site versions - I already have print versions of all pages but when I run them through the BOBBY checker loads of errors come up.<br />
<br />
Has anyone got experience of making their pages BOBBY/BETSY compliant? Should I create the pages on the fly with a tool or do them manually?<br />
<br />
Are there similar US standards I should also be checking out?<br />
<br />
More info on what I blabbering on about (I can't even understand myself most of the time) can be found here:<br />
