Usability Quote of the Day

February 9, 2012

Most people who encounter computer-based automation at work do not choose the software with which they work, and have comparatively little control over when and how they do what they do. For them, the use of computers can be an oppressive experience, rather than a liberating one. -- Sarah Kuhn, Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996    (via interaction-design.org)

Seven Accessibility Mistakes (Part 2)

A great list of accessibility mistakes ...

"This two part-article discusses reasons why some projects fail to result in properly accessible products. Last week we discussed the first three of seven accessibility mistakes I’ve encountered in my work, namely:

Mistake #1: Believing in products without putting them to the test. It’s no fun realizing halfway through development that the CMS does not really help create clean markup, or the framework in use spits out controls that are only usable with a mouse.
Mistake #2: Taking too much responsibility. Sometimes we give the client the impression that all he has to do to create an accessible product is believe in us. We should help the client understand that when it comes to maintaining the product, accessibility is as much his responsibility as it is ours."   continued ...   (Via Digital Web Magazine)
