If you've been working on a new site, there's one big word that you'll keep coming across - "accessibility". Whether it's a small site that only a few people will hit, or a large site that people across the world will enjoy, you need to make your site easy to use for everyone because, honestly, you never know who will be seeing it. So, the people at DevArticles have put together a little set of questions to get you started in their new article.

In Usable Web Site Design, they suggest six steps/questions that you can ask you and your designers/coders to help you make a site that will appeal to the masses and is easy for them to use. Most of them are pretty common sense, but you'd be surprised how many people just don't think about things like that when making a site.

This is also one of the reasons that I'm working on the new layout and all - it's a bit simpler, and the content is a little easier to get to (thanks to some Apache magic), and the best part? It's all XSL/XML based with no hard-coded HTML outside of the XSL stylesheets! whee!
