Experts Perform Jaws Testing
I would like to thank Tom Glasson and Steve Green of Test Partners Ltd., User Experience Experts, of the United Kingdom, for kindly testing Green-Beast.com v.2 with the Jaws screen reader and identifying the site’s issues. Their words have not fallen on deaf ears and the vast majority of the identified issues have been corrected to make experiencing the site better for those employing a screen reader to “hear” my site’s contents. It was a rough week of work, but one that I feel is very worthwhile. Steve, Tom, thank you very much for your time, effort, and your insights. Thanks to you guys, Green-Beast.com may be enjoyed by more people than ever.
Sincerely,
Mike Cherim

Mike, your site looks just wonderful. I hope you don’t mind if I work at emulating it in many ways. I have learned from scratch - from nothing - without being a programmer - how to make myself a web site, but I have problems with accessibility, and also, not nearly enough knowledge with layout, so that I was playing with right-side navigation, but discarded it because I had troulbe controlling it. But your site’s appearance is great: I think what holds it together are the borders on left and right (noticed that on SimpleBits, too!)
Your example inspires me to continue working on appearance - and accessibility. Thanks a million!
