I think this is where we are seeing the problems with setting up an alternative access site. I'm assuming that Tesco feels that they have done their duty and have perhaps not put budget aside to update the access website. So, as time goes by and the main site is upgraded, enhanced and made pretty amazing, the access site falls to the wayside. But ... Then we see that the main site is actually more accessible than ever before too! So, did tesco only ever see the Access site as an interim solution? But then we look at the publicity generated by Tesco's Access site. The kudos, awards and column inches they received must have influenced other websites to do similar. Other sites that may not ever intend to make their main site accessible. I'd take this to it's logical conclusion but don't have the time. ...Damon -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James O'Dell Sent: 30 March 2005 16:04 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Tesco Has anyone tried using the main site recently? I used it to change my Tesco registered address (another thing you can't do on the Access Site) and that part of it certainly worked fine. I wonder if the screen readers are beginning to catch up with the likes of Tesco. While I obviously think sites should be accessible, I sometimes think that RNIB impose more stringent access criteria than the average user would. Or are they perhaps concerned about people who rely on what's actually on the screen, like users of screen magnifiers.
