i can’t wait for all the pedantic web purists to start whining about “accessibility” and html validation – who gives a crap when the end product is that good?
Also, in response to joe’s comment, accessibility does matter if a portion of your expected audience requires it. Designing a site for a public organization, such as a library or school? You’d better believe accessibility is important.
But designing a site that is going to be viewed by others in the creative industry, such as this? Have fun.
I should note I’m actually a Flash developer, so my bias is in the complete opposite direction. But I still strongly value accessibility and standards.
As a designer, you should too – if it’s appropriate and necessary.
Wow. That was interesting – actually very cool but made me a little nauseous. I guess accessibility would be an issue – but really, if the audience is defined as the creative design industry, accessibility tends to take a back seat.
Swissmiss is a design blog and studio run by Tina Roth Eisenberg. Besides swissmiss, she founded and runs CreativeMornings, TeuxDeux, Tattly and her coworking space called Studiomates.
that is insanely creative.
