Accessibility
One of the most important areas of compliance is make sure you website is accessible to people with disabilities. Generally it is making sure you site is clear and concise when viewed by people with visual impairments.Part of making a site accessibility compliant is making sure that the code behind the that's going on in the background is formatted correctly. This ensures that accessibility software like screen readers can make sense of your site. Charity:/Advance only generates this valid code.
It's very important that your site does comply to these standards because if you're not you could be breaking the law.
The UK's Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Section III point 19 states
"It is unlawful for a provider of services to discriminate against a disabled person..."
Your website is a service and therefore falls under this act. If your website is not accessible and your site makes not effort to be accessible to its disabled users, you could be sued.
