UKNM: Usability Competition

[Sam Michel]

Mornin' all...


An interesting press release popped through the door this morning and given

the recent debate about the inclusion of Usability as a criteria on NMA's

site inspection, I thought this would be of interest. Here's a snippet...

Competition Challenge: To Create A Winning Web Site Judged Solely on the

Notion of Usability


The National Autistic Society (NAS) and City University, London have joined

forces to launch NAS/NetMedia 2000 Web design competition. The theme for

this year's contest springs from a simple conviction: that the Web is for

everyone and simple, effective communication is vital in ensuring people of

all abilities benfit from using it.


For many Web users 'cool' design tools maybe irritating diversions,

hindering immediate learning, but for people with autism, and other

disabilities, such wizardry can be actively detrimental obstructing access

to, and preventing engagement with a site's most important feature - its

content.
