net-guide, the accessibility centric search
engine, has been shortlisted for the National Library for
the Blind's Visionary Design Award 2004. |
| net-progress are pleased to announce that net-guide,
the accessibility centric search engine, has been shortlisted
for the National Library for the Blind's Visionary Design Award
2004 in the Visual Impairment category. |
| Whilst the search engine and directory conforms
to high standards of accessibility, what makes it innovative
is that all of the websites within its database also carry an
accessibility rating. |
| "We felt that some users of the Internet
would find it useful to know how easy a website would be for
them to use before actually visiting", said Paul Crichton,
speaking for net-progress. "The overwhelming response from
user groups has been very positive." |
| Asked to comment on the nomination, Paul said,
"We are all thrilled at net-progress. We know from the
feedback that net-guide is appreciated, but to have the site
recognised at such an early stage by the National Library for
the Blind gives us great encouragement." |
