Accessibility issues
The mum was good enough to entrust the design of her new website to me, so I rolled up my sleeves and got cracking. The fruits of my labour are on display at http://www.sallymckeown.co.uk, all coded by hand, I might add: no fruity Dreamweaver for me.
One of the mum's big things is accessibility: as an authority on special needs, the website has to reflect this. One important area was including alternative tags for all of the pictures, for the sake of blind and partially-sighted people accessing the site through a screen reader.
Joe's suggestion: Go f--- yourself, you blind b*st*rds.
I left that one on the cutting room floor.
