On Accessibility

Today I ran into this really great article:

An Idiot’s Guide to Accessible Website Design

It’s great because it runs down a list of all the resources one could possibly need for accessibility testing. I must admit that in the rush to get www.listy.us online, I may have skimped a bit on the accessibility stuff. Of course I put alt tags or titles on images (or things that look like images), but testing for colorblindness? Well, damn. That one never even occurred to me, actually. Guess I’ll add an accessibility review to the task list for the next update.

Some parts of the app just won’t work without javascript, of course, but for the most part I think at least browsing the site’s content should be perfectly accessible.

Anyway, the links on that post should be in every designer’s toolbox.
