http://www.townx.org/blog/elliot/website_launch Comments for "Website launch" en http://www.townx.org/blog/elliot/website_launch <p>I've recently been building a website for a charity in Manchester (see <a href="http://www.selfhelpservices.org.uk/">Self Help Services</a>), which I launched last week. I found out about the project through the <a href="http://www.it4communities.org.uk">IT4Communities website</a>, which I recommend for anyone with IT skills who would like to do some charity work. I also got involved to improve my portfolio, when I was thinking about a career change and considering consultancy.</p> <p>One thing I'm quite pleased about is that I designed it to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/">W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines</a>. As a consequence, when I tried the site through my new HP iPAQ PDA, it displayed very nicely, unlike 90% of sites on the web. I've always maintained that building accessible sites would future-proof them: human-accessible = machine-accessible as a consequence. Nice to see it working in practice.</p> http://www.townx.org/blog/elliot/website_launch#comments Thu, 28 Oct 2004 18:21:53 -0500 elliot 38 at http://www.townx.org
