Apologies for crossposting (not sure who Bob includes in ehealth!)
For info for anyone who writes pages or assesses the design/ usability of
websites.
If you want to go straight to the new guidelines mentioned below, they're at
http://usability.gov/guidelines/ <http://usability.gov/guidelines/>
Of course, there are already some other things around on accessibility:
RNIB Accessible Web Design
<http://www.rnib.org.uk/digital/hints.htm>
http://www.rnib.org.uk/digital/hints.htm (my favourite as clear and
accessible themselves!)
W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
<http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/> http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/
(authoratative but offputting presentation to amateurs like me...)
Bobby <http://www.cast.org/bobby/> http://www.cast.org/bobby/
(automated checking program so interesting to try on a site, but does not
have sophistication to know if content relevant eg text label for an image
might just say 'picture')
