The second in my monthly column of Practical eCommerce accessibility reviews is available today! This review follows a different pattern than the previous, setting up a persona-based walkthrough of the reviewed site.

Read my review of of Pets Contained at Practical eCommerce.

It’s always interesting to see what I’ve written after the editors have had their way with it…

Somehow, I’m never fully satisfied when I’m posting notification about a new column elsewhere and see that my last post was also a notification about a column elsewhere. It becomes clearly evident to me that my posting frequently here at Accessible Web Design has gone down a bit.

Granted, I was on vacation for a big chunk of the last four weeks, so we’ll call that an excuse.

The new column is Accessibility and the Checkout Process, summarizing a few of the key issues to be aware of when you’re trying to make sure that people with disabilities can get through your store — and succeed with your ultimate ecommerce goal.

The latest in my monthly column on accessibility at Practical eCommerce magazine is now available: Web Accessibility and the Law.

Although I’m not a lawyer, I do pay some attention to the nature of legal issues surrounding web accessibility. They’re murky, but this article attempts to shed some light on how the law covers accessibility issues on the internet.

Hope you’re able to get some value out of the article!

So I’ve been very quiet here frequently. Few articles, few comments on recent news, and only the occasional update to my WordPress plugins. However, I haven’t been entirely silent on the web accessibility front!

My latest article New Accessibility Guidelines: A Welcomed Update was published yesterday (and I totally failed to make note of it here) at Practical eCommerce magazine. This is part one of a four part series reviewing each of the four guiding principles as described in WCAG 2.0.

But I do have things in mind to be published here as well, so I hope not to be this quiet for too long.

Published today: Accessibility: Making Video and Audio Usable For The Deaf at Practical eCommerce magazine. To summarize, the article is intended to demonstrate the value of creating alternate versions of video or audio resources which go beyond simply reproducing the content — developing alternatives which themselves contain a more visceral, appealing style.
