Accessibility: It's not about ticking off boxes


I've been explaining to a number of people recently that even though their sites may meet w3c guidelines and bobby tests, they are still not "accessible". You have to:

  • see users in action;
  • understand their demands;
  • then work out to which areas you need to pay specific attention.

An article on guuui.com called Accessibility Humanized covers most of the main points admirably.
