The Art of Accessibility

Web designer Joshua Kendall’s LiveLoveAutumnFall blog is a solidly constructed web site. It’s clear right away that the developer has paid attention to a number of accessibility details — forms are conscientiously provided with :focus and :hover states, the code is (mostly) semantic and the design is simple enough to provide minimal distraction.

The Charles H. Revson Fellowship site definitely has a more modern design and that’s achieved with an unorthodox layout — the type of layout that will make it stand out for the right reasons.

The McCoy site is attractive and stylish. It’s also nicely implemented and presented in a usable, logical manner. Most of the pluses go towards design — the semantic use of elements could be improved. As always the graders noted some issues that could be and should be addressed if not done already. This site was a challenge to us as it was redesigned a couple of times during the grading process (and hopefully the observations stated herein are still relevant).

The GeekMinistry site is a nice stylish site with a real retro groove about it. Swirly and funky; hip and cool.

We did note a few things that could have been done better, though. As one example, there is text on the footer that screams “click me, I’m a link” but this text is in fact just text. There are a few other small things we’d like to see done better being that the site was made by a standards-savvy developer. That said, though, it’s a good design that should serve its purpose rather well and be accessible to the vast majority of its visitors.
