Some site design information
[ #tech, #websites, #accessibility, #usability, #deuteropathy, #colour blindness ]
I know the vast majority probably won't care about the technicalities behind the website, but there is method behind the madness and some of it is even as a result of the very things that made this site seem necessary to me in the first place.
I've spent the vast majority of my life in front of computers, one way or another. One of the first jobs I did professionally was working on accessible websites and it was the first time where my deuteropathy - my colour blindness - was actually something useful in this context. It turns out that there are standards for accessibility that websites should follow that give useful guidelines and advice on how to structure your website in order to make it easy to use for people with all sorts of disabilities. Not everyone can use a mouse, or hear audio cues, or (as in my case) visually discern screen elements easily.
