The West Australian Web Awards (http://www.wawebawards.com.au) have been held for the past few years and they adhere to some fairly stringent guidelines in accessibility and clean semantic markup in both CSS and HTML.
So before I submit my site (submissions end 7th August) I would like to make sure it's schmico, so some good criticism or ideas would be loved.
Comments on page accessibility: [list][*]Navigation is not optimal; screen readers won't read your flash navigation - it'll just read the list[/*:m][*]No access keys?! At least add some to your navigation[/*:m][*]Screen readers will not read your phone number or e-mail adress (http://www.simonwoodard.com.au/wp-conte ... s/logo.jpg)[/*:m][*]Your footer is absolute failing when it comes to accessibility[/*:m][*]You should embrace your "Search"-text with a label for the input field (on front page)[/*:m][/list:u]
I would seriously recommend you to read, and to follow (at least some of) the tips given from Dive Into Accessibility. You should also get yourself an accessibility statement too.
