The legislation came into force on 11th December 2003 and is headed "Privacy and Electronic Communications 2003" basically it’s this:-

Notepaper Offences
Part X1 of the Companies Act 1985 doesn’t just apply to notepaper, but also other documents that the company creates. Companies House view is that it also likely to apply to websites and emails.

The information required is:-
Proper name of company as registered at
Companies House
Place of registration
The company number
Address of registered office
Fact that company is a limited company
The names of either all or non of the directors

The other part is “Accessibility”. The website must comply with RNIB and WC3 guidelines, ie make reasonable adjustments so that visually impaired and other handicapped can access the website. Whether you create your own websites or use a web company make sure you comply. Most web designers will not make the alterations unless requested. Make sure you add alternative text on buttons and images so that like the body copy a text to voice reader can access it. If you are attaching pdf’s for download make sure the same applies. For the partially sighted making text re-sizable in the browser can also help. No website can every really be 100% accessable but as long as you take appropriate measures your website can be accessed by all.
