  • 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.

  • glad you like it :P

  • the bbc is corrupt like the courty crrupt to the core

  • I'm interested in this topic:

    See "Fix the web" on word press or twitter)

    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

  • Shame about the aspect ratio.

  • muito show!!!!

  • Spencer Kelly is a complete PC hugging wanker

  • Great video.

  • Gosh, what a great topice! But, why wasn't this video captioned!
