Accessibility

Overview

The Design Age Institute (DAI) is committed to providing a website that sets a new benchmark of accessibility to ensure it can be used and enjoyed by the widest possible audience. We have built the site with this in mind, and are actively asking for feedback on how we can continue to improve it.

Our aim is to ensure that as an absolute minimum, this website conforms to the Worldwide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, though we acknowledge that some of these have been superseded by advances in technology and web browser capability.

We will continue to review the website to improve its accessibility and usability.
