DDA Compliance
No web company is capable of producing a website that is "compliant with the law" or "compliant with the DDA" within in the UK.
As stated in the Disability Discrimination Act "9.1.1 It is not possible to provide a definitive specification for a fully accessible website which will satisfy the requirements of the DDA. Website commissioners should therefore be sceptical if contracting companies declare that they will create websites that are "DDA-compliant" or "compliant with the law". Conversely, website commissioners should not require a web designer to design a website that is "DDA-compliant" or "compliant with the law". Until case law has been established such claims cannot be made or honoured. PAS 78 , 2006"
Cyberzia Ltd do however adhere to set procedures and guidelines and have a strict quality control process for the development of websites.

Choosing A Web Design Company
"There is currently no nationally recognised system of accreditation for website developers who claim to create accessible websites that uphold W3C guidelines and specifications. You should therefore perform your own reference checks until you are satisfied that the web site designer has competence and experience in developing accessible web sites that uphold W3C guidelines and specifications."
