To the implementors of the AGI Project, The following is a form letter you can use when you post a request for a critique to the hwg-critique list. This is required for all sites after they are made accessible, and for pre-existing sites, needs to be done before the refitting. Using the form letter will help insure that you get feedback in the proper areas of concern. Simply save the indicated portions, add the necessary items, and send to the hwg-critique list (reminder: you will need to subscribe first in order to post, and receive public feedback. You may specify private only feedback if you wish). You may of course write your own request if you desire. ----- Suggested Subject Line ----- AGI Project Critique Request: [URL] --------------------------------------- ----- Save below this line ----- Greetings, I am taking part as an implementor in the Guild's Accessibility Guidelines Implementation Project (http://www.hwg.org/opcenter/projects/agi.html), which involves creating or refitting web sites that are accessible to disabled web surfers. Part of the AGI Project requires that I ask for a review of my site, either after a brand new site is created, or a before and after review of a pre-existing site. That is why I am sending this request. Please review [insert url here] and provide feedback (public or private) on it. I am specifically looking at the following issues: TEXT ONLY LAYOUT. How does the site look and navigate in a text only browser, or one with graphics turned off? TEXT TO SPEECH READABILITY. How does the site work with text to speech browsers for the blind? LARGE TEXT LAYOUT. How does the site look to those who need large text in order to be able to read it? DEGRADABILITY. How does the site look if your browser doesn't support HTML 4.0 and/or CSS (style sheets)? COLORS. How does the site look to those with color vision impairments? MOUSELESS NAVIGATION. How easy/hard is it to move around the site without a mouse/trackball, using the TAB key to jump from link to link? ----- Save above this line -----
