Q. Why did the semantic web cross the road?
A. @#$% you.

Standards promised to keep the web from fragmenting. But as the web standards movement advances in several directions at once, and as communication between those seeking to advance the web grows fractious, are our standards losing their relevance, and their ability to foster an accessible, interoperable web for all?

Web Accessibility Checklist from Aaron Cannon

As the awareness in the need for web accessibility grows, many web designers have found themselves asking, “Well, how do I know if my site is accessible or not? Is there some sort of checklist that I can use for reference to make sure I’m not forgetting anything?”

Thanks to a recent article by Aaron Cannon entitled, “The Accessibility Checklist I Vowed I’d Never Write”, there is such a checklist to now consider when dealing with accessibility.

Again, this list is not the perfect solution, nor is it the only solution, but I believe it is a good first step, and it gives our developers and designers a place to start from.— Aaron Cannon

You can download a copy of Aaron’s checklist as a PDF from Cameron Moll.
