Diasability act-website compliance.

[Steve G Griggs]

Could we have some themes for disabled (ie partially sighted) web users
they could include some high contrast + large text colour schemes. This would help designers who are needing to comply (ie selling specifically to elderly / disabled web users).

This gets my vote but with an added caveat...

Can you look into the rogue tags that knock out W3C compliance. My stores are great and funky then we add actinic and it becomes error-tastic on W3C

I know the cost vs reward ratio malarky just adding my two cents.

Rogue Tags

Quite agree, there must be some way to avoid this problem with W3C V Actinic code.

Thanks for your input on this - I have passed it onto the team.

I'm afraid Actinic sites will probably never completely pass the automated w3c validator as the validator seems to reject valid code (such as putting comment marks within <script> tags) as well as having problems with the Actinic-specific tags.

As a marketing tool this could be a biggie for Actinic to crack in the future.


Even a cleaned up theme or a stripped out checkout system could help, at least a bit.


Must have a look at what percentage of interweby users need `help`*.

For those that never went to school, that means it's on the way up guv.

From what i have read/learnt, i don't think the need for this is growing by much at all, what has grown is the awareness of it IMO.

How we get reliable stats on this, i do not know though.
