Subject: Re: web design for disabled users
I'd advise, as far as blind users are concerned, trying to navigate some
sites with no mouse, for a start, Also realise that from the point of view
of blind people who use speech, its often the place where you can tab to
which is known about. You cannot, for instance quickly scroll up and down a
page of links as you can when sighted, so pages made with zillions of links
before the text of the page and no short cut link to the guts of the page
are immensely tiresome!

I explained this to one chap by getting him to look at his page through a
toilet roll centre and navigate with no mouse.

| Hello
|
| I will be writing something about webdesign considering
| disabled users for my school English lessons. I am mainly
| interested in visual and other physical disabilities.
|
| Now I'm looking for some answers preferably from disabled users:
| Q1: How accessible is the web for you?
| Q2: What are your accessibility issues when using the web?
| Q3: What could web designers do to make the web more accessible?
|
| Thanks for your replies and/or links!
