The Aggiorno Team is very happy to announce that Beta1 of our product is available as an add-in for Visual Studio 2005/2008.

The first beta version of Aggiorno is ready, and we want you to try it out. Squeeze it, bend it, criticize, suggest, laugh, and cry. The more you smash it against your daily sites, the more thankful we will be. Whenever you feel a button should be red, tell us. Whenever intuition whispers you in the ear that our UI is not intuitive, please please please tell us.

Write to support@aggiorno.com, or, browse to http://aggiorno.com/forums and post your question.

Thank you so much for willing to help us shake the world of Web standards!

Web developers and designers continually face choices about the web sites that they build. Often it seems that obtaining a desired look forces the design away from standards or making an accessible website automatically makes it “boring”. In actual fact, these are false choices, and especially with the advent of more standards-compliant browsers, it’s possible to construct fully standards-compliant Web sites with great accessibility.

We just released a white paper by Gareth Powell that addresses the main issues on how to make a page accessible.  You can find it in the following link

White Paper: Clean, crisp, accessible HTML – why not?.  Send us your comments in this thread!

Enjoy!
