Personal Research Project - My Web Accessibility Test

Over the christmas period, I created an accessible website using my short client project. I provided one site with more images and colour. The non html website having a basic layout with minimal colour and images.

Displaying HTML

The screenshot displaying below is the non accessible page for the disabled users.
I created a link at the top page "Click here for no html", so that the disabled are able to view the website with no html. I have chosen to experiment on colour and layout to see if it's easier to read for disabled users to look at.






Displaying Minimal Html

This is the other website displaying minimal html coding, I made sure that there is less usage of colours. I included hardly any images and I've changed the layout by aligning everything to the left.



I provided a font size change button which is displayed at the top of the non html website. Users are able to select a font size from small to extra large, the whole of the text on the web page will automatically change. I made sure every image had an alt tag.

Live Project - Project Requirements

I agreed and signed a form with a client from Leicester called Bachmann Europe Plc, to help redesign their website http://www.bachmannjunior.co.uk/junior/. Seeing as the activities section on their website is still unfinished, I will help to design interactive games such as colouring activities for different ages. More games are still to be considered.

I will use Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Flash, CSS and HTML to design the product.
