Web developer and accessibility consultant … coming up to 20 years.
Ah bless you @Baby_Jane for trying to guide accessibility stuff. Amazing how many people get things so wrong on easy stuff. Anyone who helps is a legend in my book. Flexibility is the key to accessibility, and people would do well to remember that. ![]()
This is so right; much of accessibility is easily fixed with common sense, and most websites can see a 90% improvement with no special/expensive testing tools at all… Just get rid of your mouse for a few days and try to use the web with only a keyboard. It’s a very different experience.
Yeah. The thing that gets me is where people offer me fixed alternatives, but I have my browser set up properly, so if they just left it to the browser, it would be fine. By fixing things, they make it worse. The one I totally don’t understand is where they remove the ability to zoom a Web page, seemingly for no apparent reason.
I’ve noticed the zoom thing is an issue on (some) public sector websites, which is a glaring flaw when folks are asked to pay tax and apply for benefits that way.
Too many issues are “fixed” at the expense of usability as well.
