Product Description
Synopsis
As sites continue to grow more complex, many designers lose sight of the Web's primary function-to provide access. This guide reminds them by demonstrating precisely how to create sites in which any user-those with accessibility needs or not--can access every element, whether they have an outdated search engine, slow modem, small device, and so on. Under the guidance of veteran Web designerSarah Horton, readers will soon be designing sites that not only work but work well, work for everyone, and work under any condition. No more images that take forever to load. No more design elements that hinder access and challenge the user's patience. Sarah tackles each of these issues and presents clear guidelines for creating each primary Web element (text, images, tables, lists, forms, and so on), showing designers what's involved in building the underlying structure (navigation, user control, keyboard accessibility) that makes sites accessible to everyone. Throughout the book, readers learn to make problem sites into working sites through a series of real-world site makeovers and pointers on how it is done.
