In this chapter we will examine some other aspects of good user-interface design such as usability. We will look at accessibility as an important component of an holistic approach to web development, as well as what makes good websites and a positive user experience.
We will look at other useful methods for ensuring that your sites are both accessible and usable, such as involving users in the development process through user testing, and if that is not possible, alternatives such as personas are examined.
We will also look at important initiatives to raise the bar in accessible web development such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
