Subject: my first attempt at a accessible website site check request
No previous message | Next message →
Ive just finished a contract where I built this website from photoshop
flats. The client requested flash and javascript and didnt want to pay
for alternate content so that was out of my hands. Ive used CSS for
all presentational elements. I havent used tabindex as it seems that
this is badly supported or more often badly implemented. If anyone
could take a look at the home page and a few internal pages that would
be really appreciated as I dont want to get into any bad habits.
Its template driven so uses the same code througout the site, if you
could refrain from mentioning the name or the url due to contractural
procedures (and google cache) that would be much appreciated.

I'm blind so it's not the best of websites.
Okay...it's a good site just a bit more stuff.
Maybe a media galery or some thing like that.
You put a lot of work in to it

Come on Dan! You can be more helpful than this (note the subject line: 'my
first attempt' - if you're going to give Ben a hard time please let him know
what he has done wrong, and the rest of us for that matter.)
I noticed that this site was quite showy, but since the images are mostly
decorative that's not an immediate problem, after all Ben does say that the
Client demanded Flash and Javascript.
I don't recall a Media Gallery being pushed as an accessibility helper
before, usually the opposite, so could you explain why you suggested that?

Yes I can.
If you're blind then a media galery would be helpful.
You nether told me about the flash and java script.
In that case ben your site does well!

Could you explain to me what a media gallery is please, at a guess a
link explaining what the site uses - ie, flash, javascript, images?

Hi.
What I mean is some form of audio(vidio sound etc)
You can use pictures in a media gallery and it's very affective but I
tell you now(save future worries) it's much better with the sounds as I
find it's gets the message across.
I hope this information is what you wanted and I look forward to hearing
your reply
