Website Perks!!

I really enjoyed Neilsen’s article on low-literacy internet users. I know how frustrated I get when I can’t find something online, but I can’t imagine what people that have to read every word on a website have to go through.

Neilsen made some great points but I think he left out an important option to help low-literacy internet users; offering stream-lined video for all important articles, perhaps including a section that has a volunteer or the campaign manager narrating the entire weekly e-newsletter. I think low-literacy users would really appreciate candidates going the extra mile to cater to their needs.

That is a good point!!! I had never thought of using streaming audio and screen shots to help illiterate users. So clever!

I agree! The idea seems so simple when you think about it, but it would work so well.

Yeah, after that video last night I'm convinced that people with disabilities need to be catered to... (I almost cried!)
