A Web for Everyone: Designing Accessible User Experiences
Description
"This isn't yet another seemingly-endless-series-of-checklists books to help you tick off all the elements that cumulatively add up to accessibility. Instead, it's a book about how to improve the way you do user experience design, so it inevitably produces things that are accessible." -- Steve Krug, Author of Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability

Rooted in universal design principles, this book provides solutions: practical advice and examples of how to create sites that everyone can use.
