The following is a list of accessible web design training courses that I am aware of. Please add to this list by using the comment form at the bottom of the page.

Inclusion in this list does not imply that GAWDS.org endorses these training courses - although as an organisation I think this is an issue we should be thinking about.

Dear sir, My organisation, wilfy shoes$belt Inc is setting up the sales of CLASSICAL AND QUALITY ITALIA SHOES/BELT and a friend recommens that web site design will help in boosting my sales by showcasing/advertising it.Therefore,i will need simple design from you because i am new in this business and my budget for this simple design is between 300 to 500 poundsterling. I will want you to give me the cost of the design,and i will appreciate it if you can forward any simple designs you have to chose from . Regards! wilfred WILFY INC.
