If you’re interested in web design, you might like to take a look at my latest personal project www.elanman.co.uk.

So if that sounds like your thing, check it out. In particular, if there is a specific problem that you would like an answer to, get in touch and I’ll try to include a post about it.
Ever wondered how your website performs in terms of accessibility?
No, I hear some of you say. Well perhaps you should. Apart from the legal implications of having an inaccessible website, you may well be losing out on a fairly large percentage of your potential customers.
Making your website as accessible as possible also has the side effect of improving your site’s SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), which is never a bad thing!
To see how your site performs, take a look at Cynthia Says. This is an automated test that checks a web page for accessibility issues referencing the WCAG guidelines (priority 1, 2 and 3). Although any automated test like this isn’t foolproof, it can certainly make you aware of any glaring errors that your site may have with regards to accessibility.
