uk council site leads by example
12th Jan 2005
I'm not sure if you've noticed that UK council websites are quite commonly poorly designed and badly coded. Well, today I was pleasantly surprised to find a council website that has been built using XHTML and CSS and was nicely designed too! To add to this they have implemented a rather nice accessibility tool called Readspeaker, which basically reads out the site content to you.
