12.The article at http://www.webtechniques.com/archives/2000/08/newman/ provides insight into an accessibility problem that 1 in 12 web site viewers have. What design considerations should be followed to minimize this issue.

Design your site in black and white first.  Enhance each cue with an image, shape, positioning, or text.  By placing colors against an appropriate background, you can make even less-safe colors visible.  Also remember that even when using these colors against these backgrounds, something other than color should be used as an additional cue.

13.Issues like Accessibility, Privacy and Copyright require web site designers to …..

Consider each of these things when designing a page/site for consumption by the public.  That is, when the browser, system, monitor resolution, screen size, etc., is not known. 
Additionally, there should always be a notice of privacy protection on each site telling the viewer what is and isn't being collected in the way of information and then how it is or isn't used.0
Finally, it should be stated what is and isn't copyrighted and how and if the material may be used.

Case Studies

14.The originators of http://www.joliet-il.com wish to “update and modernize” their web site.

A. What “web mistakes” are apparent at this web site?
     Too many links on the home page - confusing.
     Long scrolling page, too.
     Using Frames is considered a mistake.
     I would also say a lack of navigation support.  I find it hard to figure out what parts of this site belong to this site and what links are going to take me somewhere else. 

B. What recommendations in design/programming/content /graphics would you make to the meet the originators wishes?
Break up the page(s) into manageable chunks that will group the information more logically.
Add a couple of small graphics to aid that, too.
 

15.The web site http://www.onecatleft.com  need to expand their “viewership”.

A.  Your recommendations.
Contact an ad agency?

Place the URL on all their vehicles.
