> not just for able-bodied people To expand on that point, my concern with WYSIWYG tools of all stripes is that they lead designers (at least inexperienced ones) to assume that what you see is all that matters. Has the developer addressed the accessibility of these websites with screen readers, or even with large fonts? As for the "off-the-shelf browsers" part I didn't quote above, AFAIK, only a very small minority of blind and low-vision people do not use mainstream browsers these days. The overwhelming opinion among blind and low-vision computer users seems to be that adapting mainstream applications, via screen readers and magnifiers, is much better than designing alternative applications just for us, because those alternatives can't keep up with mainstream developments. In other words, we don't want "separate but equal". Edit: Thanks jamarante for addressing the accessibility concern elsewhere on the thread. |
