Growing businesses have been urged to ensure they "know what they are doing" when designing a website to increase their online presence.
Julie Howell, accessibility director of web design company Fortune Cookie, has stated that it is vital to have some prior knowledge when creating a site as if software is "cutting corners", it could lead to problems for people who visit it.
She explained that developments at the end of the last century mean that people are now using automated authoring software without any interest in HTML code.
"These new authoring tools meant we suddenly had a generation of web developers who were creating websites that looked ok on the screen but those developers had no understanding of what was actually happening under the hood of websites," she said.
Ms Howells added that such issues can mean that people who rely on software to help them browse the web, including the disabled, could face difficulties.
