Accessibility
External Links
This section contains a lot of links relating to accessibility which do not fall directly under one of the specialist areas covered by other pages.
Many sites have been frozen (Accessiblog (frozen 11 May 03)) or given up to content management software (RNIB) because the burden of manual or expert maintenance became too much. Try and design a site which is accessible, uses the latest standards, and easily updated by experts and non-experts alike.
