Thanks for the link to the resources list. Most of the list does have to do with accessibility, but what pray tell does a pagerank checker have to do with web accessibility? Blind and disabled folks don’t give a hoot what a site’s pagerank is. All they care about is whether or not they can access the site without too much hassle. Plus, pagerank checkers violate google TOS.

WAI don’t normally audit a site in this fashion. In this particular case, it was part of a practical implementation of the new guidelines (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0) to prove that they could be applied in the Real World. We do, however, have a list of online resources that your friend could use.

Congrats. Nice work. This may be a stupid question, but where is it that someone can get a WAI report like the one for this site that’s linked to from the index page here? I looked on the WAI site following the navigation links, but couldn’t locate any info. Before anyone suggests I didn’t look hard enough, I’m legally blind and use a screen reader to access sites. I’m just curious about where someone can submit a site for a WAI report because I have a sighted friend that does accessible web design and thought I’d tell him about it.

As always, a terrific design and look from Mike. And also, as always, a highly accessible and standards compliant design and coding.

@Mike: I am curious about one thing if you read this comment, and this is just a subjective thing, not critical at all; What process went into deciding on the left justified layout? Just curious, because I am a big fan of centering the layout, but as I said, that’s totally subjective.

Nice work as usual Mike. I know you are working on other things and going in different directions, but the web world misses the monthly websites that you used to produce!

Thanks guys. Certainly a very thorough, and I think fair, review. I must admit the short headings and navigation texts you mentioned are all me. I hate long ones that wrap. It’s a personal thing, but the clean visual appearance of one or two short words instead of full blown — albeit descriptive — text appeals to the designer inside me. I don’t have an issue with the breadcrumb position. It’s not an oversight. It was intentional, that’s why it fades out almost completely. I tried moving it out but I didn’t like it as much. Sorry you don’t like that one, lol. Regarding the content link color… I don’t know what to say. I thought that so many folks, myself included, looked at that stuff for the whole “official” thing with the WAI I am shocked and saddened it appears that’s an oversight. I could have sworn we checked that! I will have to pick a darker color if Lainey wants me to. (That’ll be on me, Lainey.)

You guys really had me going at first glance. I saw the star but I mostly noted the word “Timeless.” I was thinking, Timeless, no freaking way. There’s no such thing as a Timeless site, I thought to myself, that’s just for incentive. Anyway, I totally agree, the site doesn’t have nearly enough WOW for anything like that.
