Everything In Between

Sandor Szenassy is an awe-inspiring artist who is most widley known for his series of paintings of boxer’s heads. Today I started and completed a project which takes his web site and transforms its old, bloated code requiring JavaScript rollovers and was entirely composed of images in a table and made it accessible.

The new version uses only the main pictures and optimized versions of the interface image elements, adds a range of accessibility features — most important of which are descriptive alt text for the images — and uses CSS for the visual design.

As Sandor says, "I wanted to produce a body of art of monumental ambition which, though extreme and uncompromising in its formal language, would be as accessible to ordinary people as to the cultural elite." Now, I am proud to inform him, his Web site truly echoes that sentiment. You can read more about it at SandorSzenassy.com’s Accessibility Statement.
