If you hunt around our site enough you should find a link that says it has passed the W3C guidelines on accessibility. However Jacob Nielsen, who is one of the leading usability experts, has just published an article with the title of ‘Accessibility Is Not Enough‘. It raises some worthwhile points and is well worth the read, summarised as “A strict focus on accessibility as a scorecard item doesn’t help users with disabilities. To help these users accomplish critical tasks, you must adopt a usability perspective”. You can find the article by following the title link.
