Can you give me examples of sites that are really easy to navigate for people that use JAWS? (self.Blind)
submitted by LanceThunder
I make websites and its very important to me that what I create is accessible for people of all abilities. I have been having a hard time figuring out how to code a site that would be easy for a blind person to use. Can you please give me examples of websites that are really easy to use with JAWS or other screen readers? I would also be interested in looking at sites that are really difficult to use.

I'd recommend taking a look at this link to help make your websites more accessible for screen raeder users.

thats a good page. i've been studying accessibility for about a year and a half now. the problem is that the vast majority of what is out there is written by people with no disabilities so its hard to tell what is legitimate advice and what is just them going off of fourth hand information. this is particularly true when it comes to learning about screen readers like JAWS. i guess i could probably install it onto my machine to see what its like but thats not the same as consulting with someone who has mastered the software after hundreds of hours of use.

What I'd recommend is making your website and then asking us to test it. We all use different screen readers and could give you feedback. I think that would help more than asking about jaws and what sites work best with it.

i think thats my next step! most of my work is developing webpages that aren't open to the general public so its a little tricky but i should be able to figure out some way to test things.

Oh? why is your work not open to the general public?

Archive Of Our Own (archiveofourown.org) does a really good job at making it easy and accessible to browse, search, read, and bookmark fanfiction.

MAN. You were born blind, that must be an absolutely crazy reality to never have seen anything ever. You're a strong man and an inspiration.
