Video description
In Transcending CSS: The Fine Art Of Web Design (New Riders),
renowned designer and author Andy Clarke set the stage for the
development of progressive Web site design using XHTML, CSS and
other Web-standards technologies. In this new video, Andy picks up
one of the more challenging aspects of Web design: making sites
accessible to as wide an audience as possible while still
maintaining a solid design aesthetic.
In the video, Andy shows how using a modern workflow, which
includes designing using a web browser, eliminates common
accessibility problems. Readers will learn how to design accessible
content as well as write accessible HTML and XHTML markup and CSS.
They will also learn key business benefits of creating an
accessible site, including more value for money spent on design and
better search engine placement.
Throughout the video, Andy demonstrates these concepts using
examples from a fictitious social networking site he created.
