Sweetness, I am sure you are a kind person, just forget earlier posts, you will find that Sacha is a lovely person - yes, there were crossed wires. I live in the Auvergne, 5 hours hard driving south of Paris and that is me driving, (fast) err... I have sat nav and it tells me where the speed cameras are, I didn't say that did I? I admit it, my name is Judith and I am an ignoramus on gardening matters. Everyone here knows that and for years, yonks, they have advised me with good humour and affection. Now, you have joined our ranks Gavin. Night, it really is time to go to bed or I will not have the energy to water the plants tomorrow. Judith. |

Ed I'm sure they are not Ed, most customers who seek out their site at the moment are probably aware of how good the Nursery is and are looking at the web pages to find out information, it's not the same situation as an open advert 'coming to them' I think accessibility is possibly an issue but have emailed Sacha with my own minor comments. As you see, this forum is not the place to discuss validation certificates or accessibility. To answer another poster, accessibility isn't about the browser necessarily but about contrast of colours for reading or for screen readers or for page resolution. Tom has had to make the maps on his Diplomacy site accessible for players that are blind etc. and colours have to be recognised by a lot of different types of screen so can't be 'unofficial' but as Sacha says, this is early days and it'd a question of getting it online before tweaking and minimising the script behind the design. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Good explanations, Janet. ;-) Yes, accessibility has been raised in emails from two expert web designers so it's certainly something we're looking at. Work is going on as I write and more will be done later - watch this space! And no, we're not losing customers - in fact, we've had several orders already which is very heartening at such an early stage. At present the plan is to keep the photographic bits to our more rare and unusual plants and then add a Plant List that is not illustrated, of other things we think people might like to know about. Festina lente is the motto at present! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

I am sure it is something to do with my upbringing, my late Mother was horrified to hear that women would drink beer, I can still hear her saying "But Ladies don't drink beer!!!" :-) Judith |
