Exploring how to make usability and accessibility a larger part of the everyday design strategy.

+++++

It's too easy when talking in a business context that usability and accessibility is only valuable to a very small portion of an audience.

Boooooooooo!!!

It forces you to rethink and clean up your code, your content, and look at your page organization on a deeper lever. Which makes your website more clear, more friendly, more responsive, more eloquent... All of which dramatically improve the website for everyone! And as a sweet bonus, the people with motor-skills issues, hearing and vision impairments, etc. can all join the party.

+++++

Too many people are talking as if accessibility and usability are only fringe benefits or low-priority problems... That's a load of crap!

    I agree. Accessibility and usability are important for the small segment of the market that they were intended for, but in the bigger picture, it all leads up to building the semantic web.

    Accessibility focus will be switching from human readable to machine readable, and usability focus from human process to machine logic.

    On a side note, keep the videos coming. I find your opinions genuine and relevant, which is harder to find these days.
