Web Design - The Importance Of Design Simplicity For Business Websites.
Search engines don’t care about Web Design. People do. While search engines will not index a website for its great layout, but for the content, people will forget the website that has nothing distinctive about it. No visual impact, no interest! Now, if you are a serious online entrepreneur and want to have a website that sends the right message to the visitors, you must know that there are some web design techniques simply inappropriate for a business website.

MCU: Accessible Web Design Tip: How to make printable characters between adjacent links invisible.
Some older screen readers are unable to distinguish between adjacent links if there is no printable character between them. The W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 provides a priority 3 checkpoint to deal with this unfortunate behaviour of older screen readers:10.5 Until user agents (including assistive technologies) render adjacent links distinctly, include non-link, printable characters (surrounded by spaces) between adjacent links. The obvious place on a page where you can find several adjacent links to is on a horizontal navigation bar at the top or bottom of a web page. So how do you adhere to this guideline in situations where displaying a printed character in your navigation bar would upset your beautifully crafted design?This weeks tips shows a technique I have used on the Glasgow West End website (http://www.glasgowwestend.co.uk) to make the printable characters separating links invisible, by making them the same colour as the navigation bar background, postcards

Website Testing: Conquering Cross-browser, Cross-platform Woes
As I was doing final cross-browser testing for a redesign of SKDesigns, my website design business, the design implementation was working quite well in nearly every mainstream browser for Windows, Mac, Linux, and even the Lynx text-only browser. Unfortunately, though, I found problems with three old or little used browsers, such as Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac that destroyed the CSS-positioned layout. I toiled over how to best handle these browser bugs, especially since my upcoming Web design book -- currently in production at my publisher -- stresses the importance of usability, readability, and degrading gracefully for older browsers. Today's post covers part of my decision-making journey and choices of approaches for dealing with these CSS bug-riddled old and little-used browsers. (2731 words, 53 links, 5 images)

Structure your menus by marking them up as lists.
A navigation menu is - if we are speaking structurally - a list; but it is rare to find a developer/designer who marks them up as such. I guess the reason for this is that designers don't want to have ugly big bullet points littering their menu's, or seemingly uncontrollable margins throwing out their carefully crafted layouts.So, is it possible to use the correct structural markup, and still make your menus look the way you want them to?A recent rash of articles and tools have appeared to demonstrate that the answer is a resounding yes; you can use CSS to style lists to look more-or-less any way you want.First, undermine your previous assumptions by visiting the Listamatic website to see examples of different list styles (with the CSS used for each): Then visit Mark Newhouse's Taming Lists tutorial to learn how to make your own: And finally - if you can't be bothered learning how to do it yourself - have a look at Accessify's new List-o-matic - where you fill in a few forms, and the List-o-matic tool does all the hard work for you: Why is this relevant to accessible web design?Using the appropriate markup for all the structures in your web documents is the first step towards making them accessible; web pages need to be accessible to the tools, i.e. the 'user agents' people use first, before they can be accessible to the people themselves. Using valid standards based markup means you have the best chance of your pages being understood by those intermediate 'user agents' (usually that means computers and web browsers to you and me).The tips archive is at: Weekly accessible Web Design Tips.Register for your weekly accessible web design tip.Feedback from Andrew Arch Andrew Arch, the Manager Online Accessibility Consulting, National Information and Library Service has been in touch with some valuable feedback in relation to some of my recent accessible web design tips.Re: How to make printable characters between adjacent links invisible:'I used this tip with many clients in the past - a good one for thedesigners who can get very precious about their 'masterpiece'.'Andrew sent the following comments for consideration: even some new speaking browsers (eg HPR) can't distinguish links clearlywhile reading (HPR is fine when you bring up a link list) unless there is a character between them what we have found people doing is using a graphic between links for design purposes - this is ok, but the alt text needs to be set to '

This weeks accessible web design tip
Does your website use a table to place the navigation bar on the left hand side, and the main content on the right? If that is how your site is designed, it is no bad thing; visitors will instantly understand this design 'convention' and won't have to waste time trying to figure out how to get around your site. There is however a problem with this 'standard layout' for people using screen readers. Accessing a website using a screen reader is a 'linear process'; the text that comes first, gets read first - and if the navigation is the first thing on the page - that is what gets read. If your navigation bar contains a lot of links, that can mean a lot of wasted time before a person using a screen reader gets to the content of your page.I was recently reminded of a very elegant 'table hack' , while reading, 'Building Accessible Websites' by Joe Clark (http://www.joeclark.org/), that can help users get around this problem. Instead of coding your table in the conventional manner as in the example below:

Navigation menu

Page Content

You can use the following rather elegant 'hack' to ensure the content on your page is presented first, and the navigation second:

(put a single pixel gif here)	Page Content
The navigation menu goes here.

As you can see it uses a 'empty' table cell in the first row which is directly above the navigation bar, and then the content cell is in the right hand cell (the content cell spans both rows).You might need to study this for a second or two to figure out what is going on, but if my explanation doesn't help, have a look at the following page where it is covered in a little more depth: http://www.apromotionguide.com/tabletrick.htmlRegister for the weekly MCU accessible web design tip.
