Description:
LIFT-Nielsen Norman Group edition is software for usability and accessibility testing and repair that runs on Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and 4.01. It constitutes a solution that brings expert design and usability research knowledge to the Web developer's desktop. This unique application is the result of close development between UsableNet and Nielsen Norman Group (NN/g), and forms the latest edition to the UsableNet's suite of productivity software tools. LIFT-NN/g edition takes the guesswork out of applying usability and accessibility guidelines by identifying common usability issues and automating most of the fixes. It enables Web designers to easily apply researched recommendations and user-testing knowledge during the Web design process derived from watching people with disabilities using Web sites. LIFT-NN/g edition is the ultimate solution for Web design and consulting firms, corporations, and government and educational institutions that wish to customize and implement usability testing in all stages of the Web design process. LIFT-NN/g edition includes Section 508 and W3C guidelines, but goes a step beyond that by providing a simple, easy-to-use application that promotes user-centered design, improving the Web user experience for everyone. LIFT-NN/g edition ensures that technically accessible Web sites are also usable with added guidelines, checkpoints, and techniques from the Nielsen Norman Group's "Beyond ALT Text: Making the Web easy for Users with Disabilities" research report. This report was produced by the world's leading Web usability consulting firm, Nielsen Norman Group, and was authored by Kara Pernice Coyne and the Web's foremost user advocate, Jakob Nielsen.
