Business broadband users should carefully consider web design in light of new developments in the industry, according to expert Julie Howell.
Ms Howell, director of accessibility at Fortune Cookie, explained that the use of automated authoring software meant that internet users could design attractive sites without real understanding, which could limit access for some viewers.
"Towards the late nineties, a couple of things happened: the web started to become not just more graphical, but there was a real slip in the way that websites were designed," she commented.
She added that not understanding html could mean that blind people will not be able to use the site in conjunction with other software, which could interest enterprising broadband customers.
The World Wide Consortium has noted that flexibility is necessary in site design to cater for differing needs, such as the assistive technologies used by consumers with disabilities.
