In a recent review of someone's web site on a hobby forum, one poster
mentioned the difficulties for folks with some forms of colour blindness
to see some of the text of the web site in question.
Are there any general guidelines for this sort of thing in designing
screens in computer applications?
At work, I'm in the middle of a very large reporting application which
will be my biggest effort there so far and at home, I've been designing
simply the largest database application I've ever done (as far as
screens/forms and amount of code goes), a hobby related application
(Yes, what a great life, coding at work, with breaks to do managerial
type things, then home, eat supper, kiss wife, feed parrots and then sit
down and code, I have danced near insanity a couple of times...)
For both of these, I'd like to "do it right" and would really appreciate
it it greatly if anyone could make some comments on this issue. Yes, I
have huge amounts done on these apps, but I'm not yet at deployment
stage, so pretty much any of the GUI can be changed.
Thanks very much in advance. This has been multi-posted to a couple of
database groups.
