Hi there, I am a Business Analyst working for the UK Office for National Statistics. We are in the throws of building a new website where the main content will be statistical tables. Some of these are very complex and are normally published in reasonably large publications. The intention is to publish these publications as HTML with an option to download a PDF of it along with CSV versions of the tables. We are assuming that the HTML version will need to be accessible - by this I mean can be read using a screen reader. Having said that, some of these publications are little more than 400 pages of just tables. Can you give any insight as to if we should be making such large volumes of tables accessible to screen readers? Are there any other considerations that we should take into account? Your thoughts/comments/guidelines much appreciated.
