RE: examples of sites with good accessibility

Hi Marc,

I appreciate the fact that O2 offer a range of services, but let's stick
to the accessibility, and usability, issues for the web page you cite.

A quick examination shows THREE hypertext links all using the same
anchor text viz. 'Understanding your bill' - each of which make use of
the TITLE attribute which has the same text i.e. 'Understanding your
bill'.

My 'understanding' (apology for the overuse of this word) of the TITLE
attribute is that it should provide supplementary information to a user
as to what the linked web resource contains/provides so as not to 'lead
the user up the garden path', as psychologists say.

Cheers,
Dave

someone mentioned O2. The site may not be perfect (which site is?) but I
would like to point out the way O2 looks at the topic in a very broad,
customer friendly and business savy way:

they offer a range of services for disabled customers, even braille bill
statements! Have a look at http://www.o2.co.uk/accessibility

This is not only a good example of an accessible website, it's a good
example of a company trying to be as accessible as possible beyond the
web. This is something I miss in accessibility discussions.
