Accessability testing pt .1

pt .1 - Blind or partially blind users

This is a really subjective thing to test and depends what you are looking at checking for. The main thing for web pages is to try using a magnifier and reader with your web pages and that way you will understand the issues that partially blind or fully blind users might encounter. Then you can look at making your site as easy for them to use as possible.

My recommendation to anyone looking at this area would be to view a website like www.bbc.co.uk with a reader first and then try some other sites. This will show how BBC do it right and how wrong some other sites get it.
