An insight into Â鶹Éç Usability & Accessibility challenges and methodologies
Recently, my colleague Adam Powers shared an explanation of what the User Experience & Design teams do here at the Â鶹Éç.
In the same spirit I thought readers of this blog might appreciate a deeper look into the methodologies our Usability & Accessibility team use to keep all of our UX&D teams informed and connected with the contexts, needs, and preferences of all of our audiences.
So here's a - the Managing Director of User Vision (one of the Preferred External Suppliers for Usability & Accessibility research and testing that we regularly work with) - from the at Earls Court earlier this year.
I hope this gives a useful insight into the work we do to ensure Â鶹Éç Online, Mobile and Red Button sites and services are usable and accessible to all our audiences.
Please let us know if you find articles like this interesting, and if there are places you'd like us to share in more detail in the future.

Important country, should be covered. I understand that the Chinese are anti-Â鶹Éç, but they are anti-everyone else as well. Hope this is resolved soon.

As the responsible person for press relations within the translations agency Profi Schnelldienst Fachübersetzungen, I am familiar with the difficulty which is shown in your descriptions. When I am doing internet research for several press releases concerning translating and interpreting, I often see myself confronted with the situation of getting quickly to certain helpful sites which then turn out to be so complicated and difficult for users that I just give up and switch to a different site.
As soon as I have found websites where navigation and application is clear and easy to understand and where the domain structure is well-arranged, I directly add them to my favorites.
