Making Wordpress more accessible
Article about making Wordpress’ more links accessible.
Manchester web designer Phil Thompson
A month ago I wrote that little design changes can make a big difference to conversion and now here’s the conclusive proof.
PHP style switcher from 456 berea street. Awesome.
This week I discovered the John Lewis website and I must say it has mightily impressed me. The only thing that troubles me is the HTML/Javascript code lying beneath.
Admittedly, isn’t as awful as some (we’ve all seen worse) it isn’t as forward thinking as the website would suggest. A quick View Source reveals the culprit… Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 7.0
Whenever I tell somebody in Manchester that I work in Wigan, they can’t fathom it. They think it’s such a long way to go to work everyday (despite the fact that many people make the reverse trip!)
For me, the task of designing websites and building them is really enjoyable so being given the opportunity to do exactly that for a big company is a no-brainer.
The other reason, is that I wanted to prove to the world that designing websites in the correct manner: accessible, usable, conforming to web standards was the way forward and futhermore that by designing sites this way the company behind the sites wouldn’t lose any sales.
456 berea street redesigns and makes the website look a whole lot fresher.
This week saw the launch of G24 - a PDF version of the Guardian that is updated throughout the day.
