- Designing with Web Standards
- In the web’s first decade, we learned to solve today’s problems at tomorrow’s expense. As each new incompatible browser was released, we retooled our sites at ever higher costs in a futile effort to deliver our content while avoiding obsolescence. But that build-now, pay-later approach is no longer productive or even necessary. Designing with web standards simplifies production and greatly lowers its cost, while delivering sites that are accessible to more people and more types of Internet devices. Jeffrey Zeldman, web designer, author, and co-founder of The Web Standards Project, will explore the history of browser-driven design and explain how standards can solve today’s problems without generating worse dilemmas downstream.

- Accessibility and Section 508
- Few laws have caused as much confusion among web designers as Section 508, which requires many sites to accommodate people with disabilities and spells out what “accessible” means. Many designers and builders wrongly conclude that accessible design means unattractive, low-end design. But images, table layouts, style sheets, JavaScript, and other staples of contemporary web design are perfectly compatible with 508 compliance. Jeffrey Zeldman will examine what 508 compliance means to working designers and developers, and show how you can use online tools and a bit of judgement to make your sites comply beautifully.
