Hi Chris. I see many of the problems you mention in the design of GUI. It is 
good you have the skills to the behind the scenes work. Somehow we have to 
try to crack this nut of learning how a well-designed web page looks so we 
can create them, even if, in the end, they need some review by a sighted 
colleague.

Welcome, Peter.  I don't post much to this list, I don't actually do any NFB 
work at the moment, but I am a web developer at an ad agency.  I think 
design work is a challenge all web developers face, blind or sighted, but I 
think blindness creates even more challenges in this area.  It is extremely 
hard for a blind person to understand where things are laid out on the 
screen and what size certain things should be in relation to other things on 
the page because, well, we can't see the screen.  Yes, we can go to a 
sighted person and get feedback and attempt to adjust our pages to match 
their feedback, but it is my experience that this takes a lot longer than 
having a sighted person do the markup and look at it instantly.  It has been 
decided at my department by new management to remove me from design work as 
much as possible and have me focus on back end and JavaScript programming 
and be given templates to use with the necessary fields and tables for the 
project already included.  Frankly, I hate design work.  I think most of you 
develop for a blindness only or primarily blind clientele, so you are not 
aware of how hard it is to design for the sighted.  I'm not even talking 
about flash, etc., I'm talking about pure html and css.  I believe this is 
why the national office has made templates for all affiliates to use, and I 
would be willing to bet they were made by sighted people.  As an aside, I 
hope your learning of JavaScript includes jquery, which has taken the 
JavaScript world by storm.  Microsoft is even including it in their latest 
asp.net framework.

To NFB webmasters,


    My name is Peter, who is a amateur web programming working on my new 
site found below at my signature. Currently working on learning java script 
just got to look back over hyper text markup language and cascading style 
sheets as I've been busy in classes too. If you have any advice about your 
first viewing of my site that would be appreciated. What are some common 
challenges that all of you as blind website programmers face? My biggest 
challenge is too convey visual affects in the right size and shape in that 
specific area to be visually appealing to users on all platforms using 
different specs with different sproviders and hardware/software 
functionality. My project is to one day to make a free persistant browser 
based game for the blind and sighted to play for free! If you have any 
resources you can give me in any helfpful way they will all be appreciated. 
Thanks for all of the help to  this novice.

Sincerely,


--
Peter
