| http://www.libertysoft.biz/index.htm Need to see what everyone thinks. This is the first site I have done. Some fairly basic things to begin with ..... |
General
---------
(a) You have a lot of errors on each page, so you need to clear these
up.
Unusually, my text-to-voice reader cannot read anything off of your
site. It's a very robust program, so you really do have some problems
with your html/javascript.
(b) You need to put 'alternative text' on ALL your images.
Why? Your menu -- to users who have image downloading switched off, or
who are listening to your site, or to search engines -- is invisible.
The content of your banner and your links to other sites are, therefore,
also invisible.
(Switch off images in your browser and see what I mean).
(c) Not everybody uses a mouse; replace 'click' with 'select'.
Index page
--------------
As has been mentioned <h4> denotes a heading. Replace the <h4> with <p>.
You should include a note to the effect that external sites open in a
new window.
Features page
-----------------
Remove the '***' from the table headings. Use a larger text, emboldened,
or coloured to emphasize the headings.
In <IMG>, for all the images used as 'bullets', add ALT="" (null text).
Instead of opening an example image in a new window, include the .jpg
within a HTML wrapper and provide a 'close window' link on that page,
along with a brief description.
Download page
------------------
Shouldn't the latest updates be at the beginning of the table?
FAQ page
------------
Set up each 'question' as a headings <h2> and style it (e.g. in 'bold')
accordingly.
Purchase page
------------------
Drop the right-to-left incremental display of the text.
=================================================
There are a number of other things which, I'm sure, others will tell you
about -- but you might want to attend to the more basic things first ...
regards.

"Jake" <jake (AT) gododdin (DOT) demon.co.uk> wrote in message news:PqEqZYFYQhXDFwdY (AT) gododdin (DOT) demon.co.uk... [Snip] (c) Not everybody uses a mouse; replace 'click' with 'select'. HOW IS THIS ACCOMPLISHED? [Snip] |
In basic terms:
A sighted keyboard user can simply use [TAB] or [SHIFT][TAB] to move the
focus from link to link. When s/he's got to the appropriate link, s/he
just presses [RETURN].
A visually-impaired keyboard user will use a variety of methods to
navigate a page and get to a particular link. Usually they then just
press [RETURN] to select that link.
Regards.
