Hi all I have a problem, I don't know what we mean and what we want to accomplish with this example? I have reread Carlos corporate ip http://fit.gmd.de/~velasco/wai-eo/ipcorporate.xml and tried to fit this with the things I've seen and heard when talking to web designers about how they try to incorporate accessibility ideas when making websites for clients. In one company I know: A member of staff is responsible for keeping up with new activities, techniques etc. on the web (e.g. by receiving e-mails from me about WAI stuff) and reporting to the rest when necessary, they have an internal checklist to ensure that all non-textual elements gets an alt-text etc., and when talking to new clients always suggest that the website in question should comply to some set of guidelines/recommendations and provide an estimate on the extra cost for making a web site accessible. And finally respect the customer's decision about accessibility . Is a web design business and a corporate business not the same when talking about the "internal" part of a web design business? Therefore are we "only" to write about how they assure that all the web sites they make for customers complies to e.g. WCAG 1.0 Kind regards Helle Bjarno Visual Impairment Knowledge Centre e-mail: hbj@visinfo.dk http://www.visinfo.dk/ phone: +45 39 46 01 04, fax: +45 30 61 94 14 mail: Rymarksvej 1, 2900 Hellerup, Denmark.
