In reply to Betty Tuininga. Thank you for your comment and I agree with yo that design in some level of information delivery should consider these standard to maintain a way for users with visual impaired problems to receive these information. The issue that many customers can easily avoid these visual impaired standard when they know would increase the design cost. Only few companies especially the large one case with these users because they know they can pay for these designs.

I am a former designer who sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury four years ago. An issue which has come to light for me, and prompted me to write while reading this issue on visual impairments, is the complications that many of us with TBI’s encounter while trying to maneuver through
non-user friendly webpages. There are countless pages that I have just left because I get so frustrated trying to understand where I am suppose to go. I was taught the principles of “less is more” in design no matter what you are creating. However the standards for so many websites have become, junky, many on the par with the National Enquiry. No I am not a bitchy old lady, I am just someone who had impeccable standards as a designer, and despite my injuries, find that I use the computer daily. I also shop on the computer because it is difficult to get out of the house. Maybe it would be a good idea to do a page on the importance clear sequential ordering when constructing a webpage. Many of my friends also complain as well,and they are uninjured!

The standard in design must be raised as the use of the viral advertising and communication increases.

Sincerely,
BJ Tuininga
