Usability Quote of the Day

May 23, 2012

There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.    (via interaction-design.org)

Clackmannanshire Council Website wins top Prize for Acessibility

An accessible government website ...

"Clackmannanshire Council’s website has won the Accessibility Award in the e-government UK Good Communication Awards 2005 (GCA). After a rigorous judging process, the award was presented by Trenton Moss of Webcredible to the Scottish Council.

Clackmannanshire Council’s award winning website was re-launched in March 2005. A panel of site users was established in August 2004 and throughout the site development their views were sought on a range of topics. The panel included one blind user and one partially sighted user.

Although web accessibility is about making a website accessible to all users, it’s particularly concerned with those with visual impairments or disabilities. Accessibility also involves making sure the website is suitable for people with hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments. It can even refer to people who are accessing the site from particular environments (e.g. a public library with a slow internet connection), or with particular technologies (e.g. a mobile device)."   continued ...   (Via Usability News)
