week 7 reading

This week, the book sums up a lot of what it had already stated in the book up till now. It also covers Accessibility, because a site is useless if nobody can access it. The final step in your web design is to make sure that your product, however beautiful, can be used. It covers ways to do this through CSS. The book states that there is no complete solution for every instance, but a designer must make it accessible to the people they are trying to reach. Some things to keep in mind: infinite control of formatting, flexibility, usable on all browsers, good serial content, allow for resizing when you can. Also, try to get the info out on new technology too, like cell phones.
As web designers, we must always move forward, because the technology we are using and representing is always advancing. Keeping up to date on good developer tools, breaking every project into a set method, being accessible, and having a smart way to adapt to new technology is a good way to work through any web design project.
