What exactly is Web Accessibility ?Simply put, web accessibility is about making a site accessible to the largest range of people possible. For the majority of website owners, this is simply good business sense. After all, the more people you have using your site the better.Making a website accessible involves removing potential barriers to access and one of the best ways of doing this is to build sites to 'web standards'.Who does this affect ?People often think that web accessibility relates only to people with physical disabilities. Although they are often most affected by poorly designed sites, accessibility is a much wider issue and at a fundamental level, affects us all. * Blind, visually impaired and colour blind people are probably the most obvious group of individuals affected by accessibility issues. This group also makes up a very large percentage of web surfers * People with physical disabilities, such as those with impaired mobility * People surfing th

Hello all... this morning I'm sharing with you a great article I just read regarding the importance of website usability and accessibility. After spending so much time focused on SEO and Internet marketing, an often overlooked aspect is onsite conversion. Attracting visitors to your website is the first step, getting them to stay and convert is the second. In previous posts I've spent much of the time speaking about attracting visitors, improving search result placements and so on. Now its time to focus on making your site user friendly and easy to navigate. Keep in mind the concept of the purchase decision process - what is yours? What path must prospective customers take to review and purchase your product? These are the questions you must ask yourself and design your site accordingly to streamline the process and create a GREAT user experience. To read the full article on improving your website's usability and accessibility, click here. For more free marketing advice, visit the

So you've optimised your website, done the keyword research, got the backlinks and everything is ethical. You're sitting proudly on the first page of the search results. Or you've set up a pay per click campaign, bid on your keywords, created some ads and performance tracking is in place. Again, you're at the top of the pile. Either way, you're visible and people are visiting your website. But visitors aren't converting into leads, prospects or customers. What's going wrong? Well your website may be visible, but is it connecting?Having attracted visitors to your website through prominent search engine placements, it is vital not to lose them by failing to connect. Different visitors will have different priorities and levels of satisfaction. In order to reach and retain as many as possible and to maximise the chances of conversion, you should consider your site's usability and accessibility.Web usabilityUsability is all about providing your visitors with an effective, efficient

If you sat back and dreamed up the most luxurious confection possible, where would you sell it? Target & H&M believe they’re making luxury goods available to the masses, but are they really? One could argue they are simply dangling the notion of luxury, without providing actual luxury products. We haven’t fully formed our thoughts, and it seems the blogosphere hasn’t either. In order to help you construct a better opinion on the subject, Coutorture has organized a Salon On Luxury & Accessibility. Ever since, the blogsophere has been abuzz with debate. Hope Robertson believes in affordable luxury, while Poetic & Chic thinks we’re being duped. Further exploring the topic, The Budget Babe delves into the psychology behind the matter, as The Runway Scoop attempts to define “luxury”. Style Eyes believes such products will become more accessible and Platinum Blonde Life believes in rapid consumption. Temptalia takes the subject a step

The e-Government Bulletin - ISSUE 249, 17 October 2007, and blog reports [quoted here in full]:Government websites may be stripped of their 'gov.uk' domain names if they fail to meet tough new standards of accessibility to web users with disabilities, according to confidential draft proposals seen by E-Government Bulletin.The guidelines, entitled 'Delivering inclusive websites: user-centred accessibility', are being drafted by the Central Office of Information, the Whitehall agency which assists public bodies with communications campaigns.If approved, they would mean that existing government sites would have until December 2008 to meet the 'AA' standard set out in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. All new sites would have to confirm immediately."Any new site approved by the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Public Engagement and the Delivery of Service.must conform to these guidelines from the point of publication," the draft guide

If text does not have sufficient contrast compared to its background, people will have problems. People with color blindness or other visual impairments as well as people browsing the Web under less than ideal circumstances (bad monitor, window reflections, sunlight hitting the screen) may not be able to read the text, at least not without difficulty.With that background out of the way, on to the actual color contrast checking tools. Some tools are Web based, while others are standalone applications or browser extensions that you run locally on your computer.The list:Colour Contrast Check: The tool gives you immediate feedback by showing what the chosen colour combination looks like and whether it passes the test. Colour Contrast Analyser: You will need to enter the values for foreground and background colours into a form and submit it, after which the results are displayed.

So another way of looking at what makes a good website is to describe it in new terms. A good website is: Search engine optimizedAccessibleUsable Many of the factors that make a site better at one of these also improve it in another, there is lots of overlap between them. For example, a site that is (x)html semantically structured (the xhtml explains the document, not how it looks) will be easily

While I am here watching the Yankees get thumped by the Indians, I often check out the other blogs out there in the universe, and one of the best out there is the Nats320 Blog done by a Washington Nationals season ticket holder who has unbridled passion for the team and attends virtually every game. This week, he added an impassioned entry to his blog about the ticket availability for the post-season, TV programming and how MLB caters to their supporters, VIP’s, lawyers and corporate partners. I agree with most of he says; however, the reality of sports today it is driven by almighty dollar, big business and not “biting the hand that feeds you”. I work for a defense contractor, and one of the biggest companies in the world as an IT consultant/site director. A few years ago, I was able to attend plenty of Washington Wizards game as fan, sit in a corporate box, eat free food, have all the drinks and have team officials greet us, even though I am nobody. I have been abl

"You must be blind not to see the point of Web accessibility guidelines" Often when I’m explaining some of the details of on-page optimisation to clients, I tell them that many of the steps we take benefit not only search engines but also users using screen-readers. Generally, the response we get is one of, “Yeah, but how many of our users screen-readers anyway? Surely it’s not worth considering something that accounts for so few users?” I was reminded of this today, while reading this article: “A federal judge in California certified a class action lawsuit against Target Corp brought by plaintiffs claiming the discount retailer's website is inaccessible to the blind” Win or lose, the case will undoubtedly draw some attention to the issue of Web accessibility and hopefully in the long run lead to better implementation of accessibility guidelines. Even though the number of users specifically affected might be relatively small, the size

One of the most painstaking web programming tasks is achieving web accessibility. Although estimates vary, between 5 and 10% of web users have some sort of accessibility need. There are several standards, and determining which ones to support depends largely on your business needs and location. The US Government for instance has Section 508 compliance while the Canadian Government has Common Look And Feel 2.0 Accessibility standards. Generally all of these standards build upon the specifications of the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, specifically the Priority 1 and 2 requirements. Some examples of WCAG requirements are that all web pages must have valid HTML and CSS code, images must have alternative descriptive text, and there must be alternative methods of viewing data or accessing page functionality. Accessible browsers such as JAWS cannot interpret client scripts or view images in the way that a regular browser

One look at Google’s Accessible Web Search is enough to make even the most stubborn web coder understand that compliant, accessible design is no longer the infatuation of some W3C enthusiasts, but a necessity. Even amateur SEOs will stop affirming that W3C compliance has nothing to do with getting high Google rankings. More: continued here

I thought I would expand a little more on my idea for a MAVAC scale on software and human/computer interactive devices. Imagine buying a piece of software but not being able to use it? You wouldn't be very happy would you? But what if you could tell the suitability of the software using a very simple labelling system on the outside packaging before purchase. This is along the same principle as showing nutritional information on food - it is about offering the ability to make choices based on informed decisions.Briefly, MAVAC stands for Mobility, Audibility, Visuality, Alternate Interfaces, and Cognition. The idea of bringing these things together into a scale is to offer a general statement of measurement of 'accessibility' of devices and software. If a person had low mobility then they could look for software with the low mobility symbol, and if someone had vision issues then the visuality symbol and alternate interfaces would be the symbols to check for.I need to find a way of ref

Seems like a bold statement to make doesn’t it? Well I don’t think it is and in this article I hope to explain why, to both business owners and website developers alike. Let me explain. Roughly 80% of all UK search traffic originates from Google. In the majority of cases, your long term website traffic (& conversions) will originate from a search engine (insert your own Social Media caveat here). Before this online behemoth and others can begin sending you those potential customers it has to visit, ‘read’ and ‘understand’ your website, not just once, but hopefully time and time again. How else can Google decide on which pages to recommend to its users? ‘The machine’ (or rather several thousand servers) that does this is know as the Google Bot. (more…)

An online interactive information service has been launched by London Underground which lets users find out the accessibility of every Tube station, the routes to/from the platforms and the street, and to/from platform to platform. It will soon be available on Transport for London’s journey planner, at the moment it’s only available at Direct Enquiries. Guess what? It’s not just for wheelchair users and passengers with mobility issues, so this is REAL progress. This service is also aimed at passengers with hearing impairments. As the access details include lifts, escalators, walking distances, ramps and platform to train gap width, this should help make planning a journey easier. I’ve got a Hearing Dog and I have to pick him up (a hefty 16 kg) whenever I get onto an escalator. There aren’t always lifts or stairs. Picking up a heavy dog and trying to keep my balance on a moving stairway can be daunting, especially when we’re on our way home from a g

In Windows Vista these tools were updated to provide more configuration options. Also, their location and some of the application names were changed. read more

The need for loans can arise in every ones life. One might run out of cash in some critical times and feels the dire need of money. During such situations payday advance loan comes in handy. Payday advance loans are short term loans offered to the borrower in need of cash to look for all emergency needs like accident, health problems etc. The borrower can place an application and once the application is approved the loan amounts directly transferred into the bank account. The important feature of payday advance loans is that these loans are approved very fast. A regular loan takes a minimum of two weeks to be sanctioned whereas a payday loan is approved within couple of hours. The loan amount approved under the payday loan ranges from £80 to £1000. All salaried people are eligible to get this payday loan provided the salary or wages are paid directly into a bank. The lender asks for some basis requirements from the borrower like the bank credit account and a regular job for the pas
