UK Web Designers Association a sham!

We have today written to the UKWDA to complain about the low standards of many of their members. In our company we view the UKWDA logo as meaning that the company displaying it will be generally an amateur, with no design qualifications or skills, little technical ability and with no regard for Web Standards, legal accessibility or ethical search engine optimisation. It is unlikely that any serious web design agency will display this organisation's logo and if the general public see it on a site, I would recommend they avoid that company.

Update; The UKWDA has been amalgamated into new organisation "Professional Website Designers Association". We have been in touch with this new organisation and they seem an improvement. We will be investigating their standards and will report back.
