Einfach für Alle Critique

This is one of the best CSS layouts I've seen. Einfach für Alle , translated as 'Simply for All' is the exceptional work of Tomas Caspers. It is part of a German project related to empowering disabled users in a number of different ways.

The Web site is a fine example of attractive and accessible design. Note the use of the <link> element for extra navigational aids (if you're using Mozilla), and you can select the skip navigation link by clicking on the 'Inhalt Überspringen' text.

Purpose

The site is part of a larger political and ethical movement based in Germany. The initiative "simple for all" wants to convince programmers, Web designers and internet web site providers that they should design and develop sites, which are accessible to humans with handicaps.

Presentation

A complicated magazine style web site with integrated blog and article repositories. A particularly fast site (given the amount of content in the pages) with clean and sophisticated layout. Overall an excellent variable width design with a simple top level navigation structure with good use of text placement and colour.

Site Accessibility

Checking the site with the Bobby Validation tool, all tested pages of the web site correspond to the defaults of the WCAG 1.1 in the priorities 1 & 2.

All tested pages validate 1.1 after XHTML strict.

All tested pages have meaningful structured and semantic constructed markup.

Heading elements from h1 to h4 are present.

Overall this site makes good use of Accessibility indexes, CSS and well structured code to provide an excellent resource repository and Accessible web site.
