Accessible Design Guidelines can be Simple
Simplicity will increase the adoption of guidelines by more people ...
"Kevin Carey of HumanITy has boiled down five different sets of guidelines (Nielsen, WAI, etc) into what he considers are the three most basic accessibility guidelines for use by designers in making interactive digital products.
Talking at City University in late May, Carey told his audience:
1) Allow simplification and customisation,
2) Create multi-modality,
3) Allow user-interface choice.
Carey sees the value of having fewer and more generic guidelines as less overwhelming for designers and helpful in prompting them to explore and request elaboration. He also recognises that there are risks in both over-simplifying and over-complicating, but to date says the other principle sets haven’t helped much, so a simple three is like a foot in the door and may help engage designers to seek elaboration." continued ...
