Zurb Uses Kia RWD as a Good Example. Yikes. - 1 views

  •  
    Zurb story here: http://zurb.com/responsive/reading Kia's site is: http://www.kia.com Number 6 is Kia's new RWD. I went to the kia.com site and the RWD was pretty awful. * MIN WIDTH: -- images and text are blurry. -- horizontal nav completly disappears. -- the 3 stacked horizontal bars that should pull up a menu.....don't. They drop the main page and you're stuck facing a carousel and some monumental horizontal and vertical scrolling to see only models of vehicles. * MAX WIDTH: -- they don't have a max width and try to stretch into infinity. Stretched across 2 or 3 of my displays and I have the full site.....blurry. * MOBILE SITE: -- it's a mini-version of the main desktop site. -- this works well on the iPad in both vertical and horizontal orientation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've seen great RWD when the min- and max-width are defined and the three horizontal bars become what used to be the horizontal navigation. But Kia's desktop RWD fall short in my opinion. If anyone ever reads this, I wonder what their impressions would be.

AJAX and Accessibility- Standards Schmandards - 0 views

  • Improving accessibility of AJAX forms Fortunately there are some things we can do to increase accessbility of AJAX forms. Here are my recommendations: Inform the user at the top of the form that it requires javascript or detect javascript automatically and warn the user when it isn’t available. If the form has many fields you will spare your users a lot of frustration. Everyone hates filling out a form just to find out that they can’t submit it. Inform the user that the page is updated dynamically. This is especially important for screen reader users and will help them decide when to trigger a re-read of the page. Make it possible to recieve an alert when information was updated. This may not be practically possible depending on the complexity of your form but will help a screen reader user a lot. Alert boxes are read by the screen reader and are usually displayed together with a sound. The checkbox should be displayed so it is clear that it is not part of the original form. Highlight recently updated areas for a short period of time. This will help sighted users understand what just happened. The nice folks over at 37signals have dubbed this “The Yellow Fade Technique” but you can use any colour you like. Check out Adam Michela’s code for another way of providing the fade.

    Example of mobile site using jQuery Mobile. From the Digital Services Librarian: "...; I released our library's first mobile site this summer (http://m.library.iit.edu), and the framework allowed me to concentrate on the university-specific items I had to address (such as rewriting our textbook checkout code) rather than how to make it look nice on various mobile platforms."

Wacom's Branding Statement - 1 views

  •  
    I'm sure we're all familiar with Wacom, but I'm not sure if everyone realizes how HUGE and IMPORTANT they are. I mention this because Wacom is not just a company that produces the little tablets we see on people's desks. They provide THE tools of choice for the movie industry, television industry, vehicle companies and huge business to business entities. The little Wacom tablet and stylus I have at home and on my desk at work are not the main streams of income for this company. I wanted to clarify this because their Branding Statement reflects the ideals of a huge, worldwide, trend-setting company that is the leader in ALL of their product categories. Here is a link to their PDF download of their Branding Statement (you may have to cut and paste the URL below): https://dfsoyk1v2p32a.cloudfront.net/us/~/media/Files/PDFs/Our%20Business/Company_brochures_EN_20131225.pdf?vs=1&amp;d=20131226T080604
