Hi Barry,
I totally agree that the site is not fine for everybody. I meant to say I
don't care personally, as the site is fine for me.
However, I would much rather they had what people now call a low graphics
version, for accessibility, wap, PDA use etc. I hate the words accessible
site, as it gives the impression that what is normal is not accessible, and
this is simply not the case for Tesco. No, the site is not fine for
everybody, but my sentiment still is that I don't care what they do with
their so-called alternative site.
All the best

Steve,
""The normal site is fine"."
I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull you up here.
It's very easy for us to jump in there because of our skills and say
somethings fine. For me and you maybe but others may be more comfortable
with accessibility features applyed to a site.
It's not always about training either. Some people may not have the ability
to use a fully loaded mainstream site and/or may just be more comfortable
with a less cluttered site.
Providing it's done well and runs in sync I dont' see why there shouldn't be
the option.
If it's not running in sync it's not the fault of the user but the
maintainer.
I've tryed the new site out, just a quick explore after applying
accessibility through the main site and think it's much nicer. It's also
great now to see an info button and get info on storage, cooking,
ingredients and even a full description of the thickness and toppings on a
pizza.
As Re: who took part in the testing. I know we dont' have all the VI people
on here but we've about 300 or so. And it would be fantastic to hear from
at least one that was involved.
I'm sure the RNIB was consulted. But that even gets up my nose at times.
Who placed them at the for front of what is and is not accessible?
