RE: UKNM: Poor web site design

[Paul Murphy]

the point about accessibility within site design <which i believe alongside

usability ought to be the basis of any approach even before you talk about

branding and all that> is not simply about retro-browsers, old machines,

partially sighted users etc but actually about future proofing a site - so

that it will work on webTV, hand-helds and all the stuff that hasn't yet

arrived without the expense of rebuilding from scratch.
