Web Accessibility
“The power of the Web is in its universality.
Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.”
Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web
About a month ago, the W3C launched a redesigned version of their site which is easier on the eyes and easier to navigate. They’ve also taken this opportunity to add new content to the site, and one useful page which we wanted to share was this great overview of web accessibility: what it is, why you should worry about it, and how to make sites accessible. It also contains lots of useful links to more resources.

Thanks for bringing this resource to my attention – it’s got some really useful information on web accessibility.
Also, I agree about the new W3C website redesign – it’s much more easier on the eyes than the previous version was; and I find it a lot more digestible than the original. The only “problem” is that when it comes to the site’s CSS, the W3C are guilty of ignoring their own recommendations. I think that they should of at least made the CSS validate.
