1) What benefits does a web author gain in considering issues of usability and accessibility when designing, updating, writing, and maintaining a site?
Usability helps assure that the web author's site will remain useful and up to date. If it does not comply with usability standards, those who have issues with it will forget about it and move onto a new website that does comply.
2) What are two aspects regarding usability you feel more confident in or know more about than when the class began?
When it comes to usability, I learned the value of evaluating these websites with other websites (like validator) to make sure sites are tested for color blindness. I also learned the importance of using HTML in a consistent and appropriate way.
3) What are two aspects regarding accessibility you feel more confident in or know more about than when the class began?
I learned the real purpose of accessibility and catering to your audience. Aspects like making sure the website is still readable when the font size is increased and the pictures are omitted are things I did not consider until recently.
