Re: web site to review

Hi there,

As just a basic "non-programmer" screenreader user, the site was
somewhat confusing to me. Not anything to do with headers or anything,
as I don't navigate by header. But, I couldn't tell what the company
is really until scrolling down a ways and kind of listening to all the
departments. I gather it is a non-profit, helping low income folks and
folks with disabilities? The site doesn't "flow" well, but I don't
really know how to explain why. It seemed like a lot of information is
repeated, like when its giving phone numbers, I'd hear the same
departments or what not that had been mentioned previously.

All the logos say "image" though. I use Voiceover with Leopard, Mac OS
10 and Safari. The skip to content link didn't work, but I never seem
to have luck with those; I think it might be a VO issue.

Sorry I'm not technical, but I'm just a user :)

HTH,
Randi

PS-It might be helpful to add a short description of the company at
the top of the page, so users know right off that they've found what
they're looking for.
