Web Guidelines at Zinformatie
I'll
be speaking tomorrow in Utrecht, Netherlands on truths and myths
regarding the Dutch Web Guidelines. I'd like to speak more about design
in front-end development, but I guess the Web Guidelines are hot, and
since I had a role in producing them, I get asked to talk about them. A
lot. As with any usability or accessibility guidelines, there are some
myths which keep rearing their heads. These myths came to be in the
minds of clients, mostly because because of what these clients have been
told by hack, unprofessional front-end developers. You know, the kind
who design websites based on what their framework or CMS is able to
handle in its more or less standard form; god forbid these developers
should know the faintest thing about decent markup. I'm tired of hearing
what's not possible within accessibility guidelines, especially when
it's simply untrue. We'll be talking about that. For the Dutch among
you, read more on the
Zinformatie
website.
