As a blind person who uses the web and also tests web sites I think that the
title of the page should be first. You can then either use a skip navigation
tab or have a Heading #2 as the "skip nv". For me, the structure of the page
is very important. I want to be able to move through the hierarchy of the
pae and understand what it is all about. This should be done with heading,
links paragraphs and the like. Otherwise, the web page is similar to reading
a lengthy document on narrow ticker tape which has been cut apart andthen
taped together. I have the same opinion about documents and software. Put
the important stuff in order of import in the structure. If you want fancy
colors and bolding and the like, fine, but make sure that you use a build-it
structure which indicates levels of import. THT.
