What are the real annoyances faced by disabled people and can some of this be solved from a social media perspective? (harnessing the power of the network to do fixing through tools- see the wordpress place for more info).
It's ridiculous to use choosing a book from amazon as an example. Typing in 'Computer' is stupid yeah! Typing in a string like computers + accessibility is kinda more intelligent, which i guess any blind person would do. It's rather condescending and actually portrays the ignorance of TV PC personalities
this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd
It not as hard as you may think to build a site that validates to a HTML/XHTML standard and also meets WCAG 1.0 which provides a very poor user experience.
A great example of how you can over do accessibility is the RNIB articles on to much accessibility.
I too have worked on multiple large UK government and public sector sites, and experienced similar difficulties in meeting the required bench marks. However, we also invested a lot of time into real user testing with companies like Abilitynet and the RNIB to make sure that if a site did not validate that it was still highly usable.
Nilakanth, I think the purpose of the video is not to highlight the flaws in CMS's. But to give people a real interpretation of how a bad site architecture and html structure can often make a difficult task much more so for user with assistive technologies.
I have lead the development of key public sector websites in the UK
The British defacto standard, WCAG 1,2,3 or AAA accessibility is often very difficult to maintain on a dynamic website where content is changing frequently. The only way it can be controlled is through a rigorous workflow module. PAS 78 and AAA guidelines are not met by more than 75% of UK Government websites - YET.
I'm interested in this topic:
See "Fix the web" on word press or twitter)
