“Government web sites will need to be easy for all citizens to use, including those with a disability, so universal accessibility is a crucial issue in their design. This paper is intended as a primer for public sector officials who are responsible for or otherwise involved in the creation of web sites. It will tell you: *Why you should be concerned about accessibility; *What targets and legislation apply to you; *What accessibility is and which disabilities it concerns; *Some common accessibility problems and their causes; *What you need to do to develop an accessible web site.”

“‘I would invite you to know something about me,’ said Christopher Alexander, the creator of A Pattern Language, the 1977 folk bible for home builders, lay people and professionals alike. ‘Design is not really my thing.’”

“These documents aim to give enough information about content management for Bell to be able to make a decision on how to incorporate it into its work, both internally and in the services it offers its clients.

“A resource to inspire design professionals… Every designer spends loads of time surfing the Internet looking for that great web site to get inspired and spark that creative idea. Being designers ourselves we could never find the appropriate resources that contained only well designed, creative, and inspirational web sites. Hence the media inspiration project began. Media Inspiration is a resource developed to help its users break free of their creative mind block and spark ideas from the web sites featured on our portal.”

Damn! “My ITP MPS Thesis will be a prototype for a Flash driven Information Architecture visualization tool. The tool will function as an elegant and easy to use solution for the difficult task of mapping and documenting complex large-scale site architecture and functional specifications. Through the variable passing and expression building features of Flash 4.0, I will create a front-end experience that allows a user to build a customized interactive presentation without knowing anything about the Flash authoring environment. The prototype will be supported by documentation that will articulate the information architecture and functional specifications used in the development of the concept.”
