I don't do web design but that Peek thing just looks brutal to me. It's probably a good tool though, I'd just hate to have it pointed at my work.

- lumens 13y agoHa, funny - as a startup founder (https://www.mightyspring.com https://www.mightyspring.com), I immediately went and signed our site up for a review from Peek. Seemed insanely valuable to me.

- keithpeter 13y agoA slap in the face with a wet fish can be good sometimes. More than 10 years ago. Big conference of Web type people (not all developers but some) from Colleges and Universities in the UK, about 20 organisations represented, 50 people in the room. Disability Discrimination Act coming in. A talk organised by TechDis I remember (hazy memory of organisation details). A profoundly blind Web developer using a screen reader with Windows steps up, with a colleague running the slides on a projector. She goes through some basic usability for non-sighted users (like http://diveintoaccessibility.info/ http://diveintoaccessibility.info/ summary). Then she asks for a volunteer, and surfs to their College Web site live with the screen reader plugged through the PA. "Red dot, red dot, red dot, [big list of navigation junk] Image image image image..." You get the idea. She simply said: your Web site is telling me that you are not interested in blind students. I think everyone present at that session went back and ran their sites through screen readers after that talk! No-one was feeling smug in the slightest.
