Nothing bugs me more than a super-cool looking site
that shows off the ability of the artist who built it, yet does nothing
for the idea, product or service it promotes.
Or, of course, breaks the law. Accessibility is a legal requirement in
Australia[1], although I get the impression that people keep forgetting
this for some (convenient?) reason.
An accessibility check should be done before any site/company is even
put in the running for any form of award, otherwise the organisers are -
to put it bluntly - condoning crime.
Anyone failing the preliminary check could be given an accesibility
information pack, a list of those who can help put things right.
Well, I'm off to ram-raid a supermarket, but it's OK, as I'll do it
artistically ;-)
Cheers
