Yeah, they would prefer for higher ed to use FireEyes, a plug-in for FireBug, which isn't bad if you know what you're doing, but if you don't...You'll be as lost as Gilligan on an island asking the Skipper for help.

I only watched reruns. Don't judge.

You'll love the idea until they throw a price tag down...it's meant for corporate environments who have deep pockets. You may want to use something like http://powermapper/ who integrate accessibility, SEO, browser compaitibility, broken links, site maps, and more into a testing environment.

They also provide training. We're looking into this service at the UC's.

Does anyone have any direct experience with Deque Amaze? Several of our developers have received advertising about the product and love the idea of something else "taking care of" accessibility for them - and of course it sounds "too good to be true" to me because there's not much real detail on their website. Any info you can share would be appreciated.

Best,
Teresa
