Beyond accessibility
When talking about accessibility in web design, most people will think about validating code or adding support for disabilities to their site. The thing is that being accessible is something that should be in all areas of the site. From the copy to the design and via the coding skeleton, accessibility should be at the forefront of all decisions made.

The dark side of the web
There are a fair few types of sites that the a-list designers seem to avoid and galleries seem blind to. These often include sites such as online shops (getting less though), but the worst missing hole is the ever so common directory site. It could be a shopping directory, a link directory, resource directory, advertising directory – there is just a lack of any type of directory. The odd one might be shown but in general the online directory is the dark side of the web.

Where is the accessibility line?
Accessibility is constantly a main point it seems in web design – rightly so really when you think about it. A article by Clagnut highlights one area a lot of web designers (me too included often) do not consider, colour blindness. It makes you realise how in this age of web standards and accessibility we get caught up in only a small percentage we should be really considering. The question is where should the line be drawn really. Makes me recall the blah% don’t use flash and blah% use 800 by 600 to view web sites on their acorn electrons. Where the line is drawn really is a point for debate. So where do you think the line should be drawn?
