Thread Name: Tech: website for the blind, easy or not?
Subject: RE: Tech: website for the blind, easy or not?
I use Arial for everything as I find it easy to read (Arial 12 or 14 for songs!!) Last year I returned to my old job in the Library & started re-labelling the pamphlet boxes, using Arial 15 & 18, replacing all the 9 font labels I made in 1993!! How can anyone read such tiny typing? My eye specialist says my glasses don't need changing but ...
I sent this thread to a committee as we were discussing tarting up our website last week. Members were talking about making a site that catches the eye & keeps attention in this world of 10 second attention spans & all the bells & whistles a modern site needs.
The webmaster replied that he would run any suggested changes past his blind colleague who is an expert on adaptive technologes.
