hi tink, one category that seems to always get left out of such
discussions,
is property websites. more and more estate agents are going online which
makes accessing property details much easier for us all, but noone ever
seems to bring property sites into research. i mention this now as we are
just about to complete the buying and selling process and found
www.rightmove.co.uk
invaluable as a property database. admittedly, the property details posted
on there are put there by agents signed up to rightmove, so rightmove
don't
have a say in them. the actual site is a breeze to use and i think should
be
given recognision for that fact. the only slightly awkward part of the
site
i've com across is their monthly houseprice review which in .pdf format,
but
is readable. the rest of the site is very, very accessible.

Subject: [access-uk] Really good, accessible web sites.
Good afternoon,
Continuing with my research on behalf of Radio 4's In Touch program,
I'm
hoping you can help with recommendations for really good accessible web
sites.
I know that a perfectly accessible and usable web site is still
something of a rarity, but certainly in my own experience, there are
shops
online where I can carry out my shopping without too much grief.
If anyone can recommend a web site from the following categories that
is
easy to use, that would be great:
Travel
CD's etc
Food Supermarkets
Finance,Insurance
Entertainment
The idea is to praise those companies who appear to be making an
effort
or who have taken steps in the right direction.
Please reply off list to tink@xxxxxxxxxx or on list if you feel
others
would benefit from sharing your recommendations.
Thanks,
Tink.
