ACCESS BY DESIGN - A GUIDE TO UNIVERSAL USABILITY FOR WEB DESIGNERS

This guide reminds us by demonstrating precisely how to create sites in which any user can access every element. No more images that take forever to load. No more design elements that hinder access. Under the guidance of veteran Web designer Sarah Horton, you'll soon be designing sites that not only work but work well, work for everyone, and work under any condition. After a brief discussion of the evolution of the Web, Sarah presents guidelines for creating each primary Web element (text, images, tables, lists, forms, and so on). In the second section, Sarah shows you how to create the underlying structure (navigation, user control, keyboard accessibility) that makes sites accessible to everyone. In the final section, you'll learn how to make problem sites into working sites through a series of real-world site makeovers.
