Website design - Published /"standards"?

[Richard Owlett]

I'm over 80 with vision and perception issues.
Due to that and the frequency of poorly thought out or buggy JavaScript,
I disable it.

Years ago I knew a regional VP of a company maintaining OTR trucks. He
required all corporate sites to be usable without client having
JavaScript installed.

Today, the most I can hope for is that sites check to see if it is
enabled and display a warning if not. Many sites do that.

Are there published "good practices"? URL?

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) cam into effect just this year. It
will force companies and authorities to create websites which can be
accessed by disabled people. Similar to GDPR, they can be sued and fined
if they don't comply.

The EAA seems to specifically address transport, banking, e-commerce and
public sector organisations. I don't sense an IT industry-wide "oh
shit" moment as with GDPR ...
