[WSG] Accessibility awareness vs site's cleanliness
Hi, So...again with reference to http://phd.london.edu/ygrushkacockayne/ I am on track to add the WCAG conformance logo: http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG1-Conformance.html and the XHTML compliance could also be added (and CSS I suppose)... However, my client (my wife) is none too happy about me adding the logo(s)...as she believes that will spoil the clean feel of the site. Even Form 1 of the WCAG compliance in text This page conforms to W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, available at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505, level Double-A. is a tad wordy. So...how can I spread the good word of valid CSS, XHTML and WCAG...without spoiling the site with verbose text or logos? Cheers, Simon *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

To be honest, I wouldn't bother. If the client doesn't want it, and it's not adding anything to the site, why are you doing it? -- Olly http://thinkdrastic.net/ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

To the end user of the site, it's completely irrelevant. So...how can I spread the good word of valid CSS, XHTML and WCAG...without spoiling the site with verbose text or logos? Badges on a site won't do it. Spread the word by talking to colleagues in your area, participating in forums, mailing lists, running show and tell sessions at local web developer meetups, writing case studies to put on your blog, etc. IMHO, of course, P -- Patrick H.
