As a supporter of international development charity ActionAid, I&#8217;ve been receiving communications by post.

I just want to explain why, showing what can happen when the content is defined later. &#8220;Let&#8217;s build a website to talk about our company. What&#8217;s it going to contain?

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s generally recommended that justified text (set flush to both the left and right margins) should be avoided on web pages. There are two main reasons for this. Fully justified web copy is difficult to read Justified text makes it more difficult for the reader&#8217;s eyes to track their location on the page, as well [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many corporate websites are managed by a person or team for whom the website is not their only responsibility. They rely on expertise from third party suppliers for designing, building and maintaining their website. Companies with dedicated in-house online teams also sometimes lack a particular skill at a given time. Even with the combination of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Twitter has been buzzing about Jakob Nielsen&#8217;s latest Alertbox newsletter, in which he says: &#8220;To solve the problems [users experience on mobile devices], websites should provide special mobile versions.&#8221; My initial thought was that it makes sense in some cases. This is from the perspective of corporate, not e-commerce, websites, because this is where my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting article on the Guardian&#8217;s website today. Aida Edemariam looks at the issue of search on the internet and how this influences online writing in contrast to offline articles. This, of course, links in to how content for the web must be structured differently in general. Unfortunately, she thinks it makes &#8216;depressing reading&#8217;, interpreting [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s the (free) online version of &#8216;Access by Design: A Guide to Universal Usability for Web Designers&#8217;, a book by Sarah Horton. Sarah describes universal usability as going &#8216;one step further&#8217; than accessibility. Not only does it try to make content and functionality accessible to all [...]]]></description>
