Usability Exchange

I was reminded the other day that around 80% of websites in the UK fail to meet basic accessibility requirements for disabled people. I took it on myself to brush up on the subject, as I was being asked advice on how to improve accessibility on a client's website. New UK guidelines are planned as guidance to webmasters, but many whilst many may take heed and implement the guidelines to improve their sites, they will miss out on the ultimate test - end user testing.

Usability Exchange could help to change all that. Its a simple idea they've launched, but a useful one that concerned webmasters can take advantage of. Basically, they facilitate user testing by web users with various disabilities. Setting up this sort of testing would be beyond most webmasters, but now with this service it makes it a lot easier, and hence earns its place here.
