Smart Biz: Enabling the Disabled

from the design-actually-matters dept

pheloxi writes in to complain about how a lot of websites don't care much about how their design effects users (I'm not sure if he was suggesting that Techdirt has that problem as well). He also complains that in this day and age, if you have bad website design people will leave your site very quickly. Then, there is also a link to a good article over at Wired about how businesses are finding it cost effective to design sites for the disabled. I apologize if I did a bad job paraphrasing pheloxi comments, but even he admitted that his English was questionable.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Smart Biz: Enabling the Disabled

    TechDirt is very readable and I join reading it each day. 6 thumbs up (5 is max. LOL)

    I added the URL's to make web designers more aware and more time for design and less time needed for research. Any web designer who needs visual check just e-mail. The bill I send will be reasonable.

    TechDirt continue the spreading the Tech Dirt.

    e-greetings,
    pheloxi

    P.S. when will you choose the tagline?
