Web Site Accessibility

New York Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer, announced settlements with Ramada.com and Priceline.com to make their respective web sites accessible to persons with vision impairments. The companies will implement accessibility standards to allow customers who use assistive technology to navigate their web sites with increased ease. The accessibility standards follow recommendations from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization dedicated to improving Internet accessibility.
