There are a number of other validators out there. All have pluses and
minuses; none are perfect. There have been discussions on this list before
about the merits of "certifying" that a site is "compliant," "meets
standards," "accessible," etc. If you are looking to simply meet the
requirements of the Bobby site, that's fine, but it will leave you short in
terms of complete accessibility and usability. I'm sure others may want to
chime in here.

Hi everyone,

Ive been studying accesibility for a few months now,
I have been implementing css, valid html and accessible features as much as
possible in any sites that I have been building.

Complete control has been out of my hands - due to design/clients etc.

Basically a client wants us to re-design the front-end for them.
On their home page they have:

This website has been developed to help make the web accessible to everyone

With a bobby approved logo, it seems fine to me apart from missing Doctype
and other Valid HTML/CSS issues. It wont let me test it online either.

Since I cannot actually send them a site we have built that will pass the
bobby online test how do we go about saying/showing them that we can.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Ben
