Accessible Webdesign (Dissertation, 2005)

In 2005 I wrote a broad dissertation about 'Accessible Webdesign'. I focused on the use of valid CSS and good structured pages and explained how blind people can surf the web.

Note: This dissertation is more than 5 years old. Thus, some information might not reflect the current state of art.
