Mr. Ploppy’s Monday Tool List - Volume XXV - Usability and Accessibility Tools
Welcome back! Good to see you. If you haven't seen it, here's the archive of my best writing. Thanks for visiting!
I microblog now more than I blog at Twitter.com/stuntdubl
Feel free to drop me a line sometime or subscribe in case I ever post again.
Usability is more of an issue than accessibilty to internet marketing in general, but I think BOTH topics certainly have some overlap into search engine optimization as well. Using best practices and well formed code that passes strict quality and accessibility standards is definitely going to have benefit for an SEO or other type of internet marketing campaign.
While I don’t visit Cre8site forums near often enough, Kim Krause-Berg has developed a great community over the years full of some phenomenal tools and resources. Do yourself a favor and check out the new website hospital, which is full of some awesome assistance for webmasters.
