Hi Christine, I would refer those people to the screen reader developers. ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Howell To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 4:26 PM Subject: Re: OT: Any Web Designers Out Here?
Eric I could not agree more. I found a site that I would love to be in a position to tell the devs what they need to do or direct them to a resource that would help them make their site more accessible. I think the site is built in html5 and java script. However, not being familiar with html5 I only see stuff that tells me about the java script and a butt-load of style sheet references. I should have kept up with all the html stuff, but unfortunately I have not and so my knowledge is pretty limited now. :) If you know where I can find a good set of references that could be shared please let me know. Thanks, Oh and the site if your curious is, http://http://demo.synology.com:5000/webman/index.cgi On Apr 26, 2012, at 6:51 AM, erik burggraaf <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Christine, It's actually much cheeper to design things accessibly from the ground up. Bolting on something later can get quite expensive. We are seeing a trend towards universal design over the last few years, especially with all the work apple has done, but I'm afraid there will always be some inconsiderate people out there.

I'm hoping someone can assist with something. In a nutshell, there is a site, http://www.yourmorals.org which enables you to take surveys on fascinating and intriguing aspects of morality. After you take the surveys, there are often color-coded and otherwise graphical representations of your scores as compared to others who took the surveys. Most results are therefore inaccessible. I wrote to the webmaster and received no reply, and I wrote to the man many of whose studies are discussed at this site, Professor John Haidt. He did respond, stating that it had never occurred to him that people with "limited sight" would be able to take their surveys, that it is an interesting consideration, but that he does not think anything can be changed until they get more money for updated web design. Is this the sort of thing which is really that expensive and time-consuming? I don't know enough about it, so would appreciate off-list feedback -- I can send anyone who wants more information the correspondence in question. It's one of those things that really could be, and should be, open to us, with the technology which is at our disposal.
