Comments on: Accessibility Statement on huge portals http://wojciechbednarski.com/web-accessibility/accessibility-statement-on-huge-portals my piece of the Web Sun, 27 Jul 2008 09:27:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Tomasz Kępski http://wojciechbednarski.com/web-accessibility/accessibility-statement-on-huge-portals#comment-25677 Tomasz Kępski Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:48:53 +0000 http://wojciechbednarski.com/in-english/accessibility-statement-on-huge-portals#comment-25677 Good, very detailed info but in accessibility statement i would suspect rather simply guide through current website features (such as accesskeys) only than OS configuration issues. One of the accessibility aspects is simplicity. If BBC would like to prepare such "eLearning" they should rather build separate website. And have the real accessibility statement *only*, under the mentioned address. BTW you wrote: "have clean HTML and full CSS layout. In another words which was accessible". The clean HTML doest not automatically mean accessible. I know you know, but it has to be written ;-) Moreover you can have few small bugs in HTML and still have accessible website. I do agree any webmaster should try to reach 100% W3C compliance, and if is really good he would. But not validating content is not a accessibility disaster.

Also, who needs rounded corners on that kind of page? The page should be as much lightweight as it's possible. The code, huh… <span class="hide">.</span>? Dreamweaver templates?! I think that’s really good idea, but… (I hate buts)
