Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris Are you convinced about accessibility? Why? 9

Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris Design to Provide for Accessibility “The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.” – Tim Berners-Lee  Who benefits from increased accessibility?  A person with a physical disability  A person using a slow Internet connection  A person using an old, out-dated computer  A person using a mobile phone  Legal Requirement: Section 508  Standards: WCAG

Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris Design for Accessibility Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 WCAG 2.0 Based on Four Principles (POUR) 1. Perceivable Content must be Perceivable 2. Operable Interface components in the content must be Operable 3. Understandable Content and controls must be Understandable 4. Robust. Content should be Robust enough to work with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies 11 ◦ ◦

Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris Writing for the Web Read Section Making Color Choices  choose a color scheme e.g. (Adobe Kuler)  Choose from a photograph or imagephotograph or image  Begin with a favorite color or company color

Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris Use of Graphics & Multimedia Re-read section 5-7 because it is a lot of information to consume. Review them occasionally as a checklist. 13

Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris Graphic Design Best Practices(1) Be careful with large graphics! ◦ Remember 60K recommendation Use the alt attribute to supply descriptive alternate text Be sure your message gets across even if images are not displayed. ◦ If using images for navigation provide plain text links at the bottom of the page. Use animation only if it makes the page more effective and provide a text description. 14

Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris Graphic Design Best Practices(2) Choose colors on the web palette if consistency across older Windows/Mac platforms is needed Use anti-aliased text in images Use only necessary images Reuse images Goal: image file size should be as small as possible 15 Do you really need to see a photo of my dog right now?

Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris Navigation Design  Make your site easy to navigate  Provide clear navigation in the same location on each page  Most common – across top or down left side  Consider:  Navigation Bars  Breadcrumb Navigation  Using Graphics for Navigation  Dynamic Navigation (i.e. dropdown menu)  Site Map  Site Search Feature 16

Copyright © Terry Felke-Morris MORE IMPORTANT TOPICS: Will discuss at beginning of chap 6 * wireframes * page layout techniques * browser compatibility Design for mobile devices: Chapters 7 &11 17
