WAVE - Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool Introduction to Web Accessibility You are here: Home > Articles > Introduction to Web Accessibility Introduction Most people today can hardly conceive of life without the internet. Some have argued that no other single invention has been more revolutionary since Gutenberg's printing press in the 1400s. This introduction should help you understand how people with disabilities use the web, the frustrations they feel when they cannot access the web, and what you can do to make your sites more accessible. The Web Offers Unprecedented Opportunities The internet is one of the best things that has ever happened to people with disabilities.

Access All WWW Areas Home > Over toegankelijkheid Een beperking levert tegenwoordig gelukkig niet zo'n groot probleem als vroeger. De tijd dat een blinde een gedateerd tijdschrift of studiemateriaal 'las', omdat het eerst moest worden omgezet in braille of audio, ligt gelukkig ver achter ons. Veel informatie is (vooral online) best toegankelijk beschikbaar. Maar het kan altijd beter. Hier vind je uitleg over toegankelijkheid en naast maatschappelijke ook andere - zoals economische - redenen om informatie en diensten toegankelijk aan te bieden. Verschillende handicaps Verschillende handicaps hebben invloed op het gebruik van internet: denk aan blind, slechtziend, kleurenblind, doof, slechthorend, motorische of verstandelijke beperking.

5 Tips For Improving Readability On Your Website A more readable website means improved usability and an enjoyable reading experience. We all want that for our users, don’t we? In this article we’ll go through 5 simple ways you can improve readability on your website. Of course feel free to chime in and leave a comment at the end of the article, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Basic Understanding of Typography You should definitely get yourself familiar with terms like kerning, tracking, leading, serif, sans-serif, line height, etc… Typography is a very important aspect of modern web-design, especially now that more and more people are using the @font-face property in CSS and that there are services like Typekit, which enables people to use non web-safe fonts on their sites. Of course even the most beautiful typefaces won’t help if you don’t follow some basic guidelines. Use Whitespace Effectively Alignment And Grid If text and design elements are all over the place it becomes very hard to read and your page won’t flow nicely.

Other previously active WCAG WG participants and other contributors to WCAG 2.0 Create a Funky Parallax Background Effect using jQuery In this tutorial, we’ll be using JQuery to take a horizontally scrolling website and add a parallax scrolling background effect reminiscent of old-school 2D platform games like Sonic the Hedgehog. Tutorial Details Last year, the Silverback App site, designed by Carsonified, created some chatter amongst the design community for its clever use of a parallax scrolling effect seen when resizing the browser window. Like in old 2D platformers like Sonic the Hedgehog, this parallax effect could really come into its own alongside some horizontally scrolling content. Step 1 – The Skeleton HTML First, we need to create the basic HTML structure we’ll be using. <div id="header"><h1 id="logo">Scrolling Clouds</h1><ul id="menu"><li><a href="#box1" class="link">Home</a></li><li><a href="#box2" class="link">Box 2</a></li><li><a href="#box3" class="link">Box 3</a></li><li><a href="#box4" class="link">Box 4</a></li></ul></div><! Step 2 – Some CSS Step 3 – Better Living Through JQuery Simple as that!
