Re: Need assistance with website accessibility

2006-03-22, Responding to Stuart...
Hi,

I am a student in a Scottish University, studying E-Business and for my
4th year dissertation, I am looking at how CSS affects website
accessibility with regards to users with visual impairments.

However I have had bad luck so far in finding users with visual
impairments to test my website.

I have setup a website with a standard table based non-accessible site
the same site but with CSS and thus hopefully much more accessible.

If you had the time to look at my sites and fill in the questionnaire,
it would be greatly appreciated, plus you would know you make me very
very happy.


Here is the address,

If anyone could help or if you have any queries, do not hesitate to
email me.

Appearing out of nowhere on an NG and asking for direct
Email communications is a tad bad mannered y'know. Deal with
this on the NG if you want to be reasonable about it, ok?

And... how much are you paying for this consultation
facility? Or are you expecting it for free maybe? (Seen 'em
come, seen 'em go. Same ol' same ol'. ;)


Here's a freebie or two...

Download and use the Lynx browser to get a good idea of how
limiting content order can be. If you feel adventurous, use
the Blynx browser too.

Stop using "Click here" for URLs. Its as insulting to your
readers as "Does he take sugar?"

WE KNOW WHAT A ***ING URL DOES!

....and blind users might not actually use a mouse, hmmm?

Your link to your "accesible website" drops into what looks
like a frames-based page in Lynx. There is a reason all life
in the universe except some humans don't use frames, frames
are crap. If you generated this with CSS, you need to
rethink your project.

....might be of some help.


P.S.
Post up to the NG if you get this sorted out huh? You might
get some interest if you don't try dragging folks into your
inbox. And mark your post OT so folks know you're "off
topic" too m'kaaay?
