BBC on accessibility

April 28, 2008

Here’s a neat Youtube video from BBC about Web accessibility for the visually impaired. It has some interesting commentary on a study that determined that Web sites that adhere to accessibility standards are 34 percent easier for everyone to use. I had a little bit of an issue with the reporter talking about “the rest of us,” but the content was still good.

Around 4:10 there’s a discussion on the uses of Flash and CSS. I’ve never really been a fan of Flash when I use Web sites. I can’t stand things flying around willy-nilly without my control. But I think I’m going to have to do some research on the capabilities of Flash and CSS for accessibility
