How not to practice what one preaches

Found via several people on Twitter:

This... really should speak for itself.

Hope they don't expect any blind accessibility professionals to attend...


[If they change the site design at some later point: the entire navigation bar consisted of an un-ALT-tagged image map at the time I posted this. The conference information page is also an un-ALT-tagged image.]

Semirelatedly, I was wondering about another site

[pauamma]

I stumbled on http://www.jaccede.com/ a few days ago (they're looking for volunteers to take part to an awareness-raising event checking (physical, I think) accessibility of various spots in Paris, and I saw a poster advertising the event).

Because I'm cynical, I'm wondering how accessible their site is. If the answer is "not very" (as I suspect), I might volunteer and put that as my "area I'm interested in" answer. :-)

Hm. There are probably little nitpicks that I'm overlooking, but at least from a quick "turn style sheets and images off" test, Jaccede actually looks surprisingly accessible at first glance.
