Subject: Re: Southwest Airlines website evaluated


With all of the issues described here, I wonder that I was able to use
the site with little difficulty.  This beggs the question of what is
accessibility.  More or less accessible is not what I would call a clean
deffinition.  useable perhaps but something really is accessible or it
is not accessible if you look at dictionary deffinitions.  This idea of
a sliding scale of accessibility has on;ly recently reared its ugly
head.  Take a ramp.  is it accessible more or less to thepopulation of
its target?

I saw no evaluations done here.  I do like the article though because it
was at least an attempt to get at the nuts and bolts of the situation.
I am curious though that this article had below it a seriese of image
links that had no meaning?

Digital Web Magazine http://www.digital-web.com has a feature article
entitled "Accountability of Accessibility and Usability" by Anitra Pavka
which discusses accessibility issues of the airlines website.  She
describes
how the site was evaluated and urges web designers to construct sites
with
accessibility features as a means to improve overall usability.
