Thoughts, ideas and solutions on UX, web accessibility and design
If you shop at Tesco, you'll know that "every little helps". If you're one of their blind or partially sighted online customers though, you might be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

Techshare is a series of events hosted by RNIB, that focus on digital technology and people with disabilities. People from around the world gather to present their ideas on web and mobile platforms, access technologies, digital content and much more. We presented a case study with BSkyB, and had a wonderful time meeting with people and listening to other presentations.
Accessibility refers to making services and information available for people with disabilities, such as people with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive impairments.
