- Alertbox
- Part of Jakob Nielson's famous accessibility website, Alertbox is a biweekly column on the state of the Internet, with predictions made on the future. There are loads of usability test results and web statistics which are a great help to designers. Interesting stuff.
» www.useit.com/alertbox - The Web Accessibility Initiative
- The W3C's section on creating accessibly pages for everybody, regardless of disability, browser or access device. There are guidelines and checklists and all sorts of other stuff here to help you create usable pages.
» www.w3.org/WAI - The Web Standards Project
- The WaSP was set up by a group of dedicated industry people with the goal of getting web standards to the forefront of both coders and browser developer's minds. They achieve this by promoting the use of modern, accessible coding languages (like XHTML and CSS), and getting people to upgrade their browsers to the standards-compliant new versions they have helped the developers to create.
» www.webstandards.org - Web pages that Suck
- Vince Flanders' seminal website which teaches good design by exposing you to the multiplicity of horrors that make up bad design. Well presented, with a good sense of humour; if you're still in danger of committing any of the cardinal sins of web design, this is an excellent read.
» www.webpagesthatsuck.com - HTML Help
- Thought this deserved a mention, since it has been very helpful while I was writing the Accessibility section. It's another one of those 'our site is really ugly but you know you're going to read it anyway' sites, but it's exhaustive and fast.
» www.htmlhelp.com - Viewable with Any Browser
- A campaign embarked on to make it clear to webmasters that it just isn't acceptable to put a 'best viewed in' message on their pages. The theme is making pages accessible to any version of any browser, a very important concept. Excellent links page too.
» www.anybrowser.org/campaign - Lynx Viewer
- You too can see what your page looks like for users of the text-only Lynx browser through this handy web-based emulator. Interesting.
