I know it really sucks when you have to sacrifice your awesome visual idea so that you can be inclusive of other users and their needs, I'm guilty of it. there's a lot of that currently on my site. but I am starting to realize I don't think it's worth it. what if someone is really interested in my things and they can't get to them? how frustrating.

as a generally textual expressive person, not highly visual, it doesn't make sense that it's inaccessible. I take a lot of pictures, but I'm not making a lot of visually expressive stuff. text is already accessible, my website design and coding makes sharing my text not so.

Maybe try using "hover over" code? I saw a few sites use it and u won't have to sacrifice the visual design, since text will show when someone's pointer is over one of ur img :9

I am not a person who has any accessibility needs re: websites and yet I appreciate it when they are accessible. That goes for mobile viewing, too. There is a quality of caring about the experience of the reader that extends to the whole experience of the site. I did not hear this news about gov't websites, but it's not surprising.

@emilynhoward for what it's worth, it wasn't officially in the news or anything like that, that you missed. I have a friend who works in user experience and he's been a big fan of the digital efficiency projects before this administration, so he pointed out to me the difference in the government sites now versus when they actually cared about user experience.

it doesn't blanket apply to every government site, but Americabydesign.gov which is a literal "national design" studio, has an animated background under text. and you can't stop the animation.

This seem like a cool idea although I'm uncertain about "making a website everyday" part

I wonder if making just a new page every day would suffice- I'm very tempted

@rusty-bytes i asked the organizer the same question last year when i noticed all the examples were standalone sites. new pages on your existing site are all good!

thanks! I try to translate what's in my brain, it doesn't always work but at least it comes out looking okay.

Updated the KB layout - it's been due for a change for a long time. Most of the same content is here but I've categorized it and also shared my plans for more things to come!

I've been on the lookout for awhile as well. You may have already seen this but what I didn't realize for the longest time that there is actually a link to the archive.org site in the sidebar. : https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/all-websites

+ adding those to my bookmarks thanks! I have come across the web design museum but admittedly didn't browse so I forgot about it! 🔎💻👀
I could have done one of the 3 in progress projects OR I could have made this idea I had today.
