Johny,
It's worth noting that there is no reason why a website shouldn't
have "all the bells and whistles" and still be accessible. Bells and
whistles may not always be appropriate, but then again, sometimes they
are.
It depends on the site you're building and your target audience. The
tricky
part is including what you want and doing it accessibly.
Regards,
Léonie.

Hi Paul
I think you're right. A lot of people who have a website like to have all
the whistles and bells they can. Any web developer worth his or her salt
will realise that this isn't commercially sound, or indeed needed. I
think
a lot of inaccessible websites are simply down to inexperience on the
behalf
of whoever designed the thing. No need.
Cheers for now
Johny

Subject: [jaws-uk] help with website
Hi all,
Please could someone look at the following website as I don't believe it
is
accessible to blind users.
The site is:
www.peteprice.com
Pete Price is a Radio presenter in the Merseyside area and I am keen to
have
a look at his site but it's very difficult and at one point, JAWES fell
silent and so I had to switch off and then back on again whichwas rather
annoying.
Any comments on how you find the site would be much appreciated.
Paul.
