Tension, what tension?

摘要

There appears to be a widespread belief within the web design community -- and possibly amongst website commissioners - that accessible sites cannot be visually pleasing. We present the results of accessibility testing of 100 websites with 51 disabled users that should dispel this belief. While there are aspects of accessibility that do affect visual design, such as visual structure, colour contrast and text size, these are aspects of design that can affect all users, not only disabled users. These design concerns must be considered if both the users' experience and business objectives are to be met.
