Design: mock ups, blindess, and learning
Posted by Jesse Rodgers on January 07, 2005 at 09:43 AM
Focus on design this first Friday of 2005. On what is becoming my favorite design blog of the moment, All that Malarkey has a great post on CSS:Mark-up guides. It even motivated me to do more with my Fireworks sketch up of the template I have been working on. So stay tuned for that – at the very least it will explain the template a lot better than words.
Navigation blindness looks at people missing the navigation because what they are looking for is not in the content. I too find myself missing links on a page because my focus is on the content in my attempt to ignore any and all advertisements. Especially those tricky Google ads.
Accessibility is only for blind users? Oh no, how about designing web content for people with learning disabilities. Learning disability design is very difficult to test for, if not impossible. That site looks to have a good starting point of tips and tricks that may seem obvious but I bet they aren’t on your check list.
…looking for what else you can do for those struggling after the tsunami in the Indian Ocean? How about Blog Aid?
