Plain Old Standards

Again, I was reminded that there are allot of designers out there (you know who you are) that don’t give a rat’s butt about accessibility or standards. I know of one commenter that said they know designers who are not even aware that blind users can surf the internet (with the help of screen readers).

Not that ignorance should be punished here, but come on. If you are claiming to be a professional at anything, then at least learn your craft! Can you imagine if I started a home language study, telling people I could teach them the German language - but all I know is how to say, “sit”?

Plain Old Standards Revisited

If you want to be standards compliant in your designs, which will go very far in accessifying your site, then please learn the art of web standards.

The large companies are going for cheap web hosting from popular computer firms like the godaddy hosting services. The site developers reserve your site with the dedicated servers to provide the best results. The shared hosting services are another solution to get your site registered through cheap means. You can get a variety of hosting done through the wide range of services available for webhosting cheap and yet effective.
