Inspired by rich content lost in poor aesthetics, I designed a version of littlereadbook.com. It was a great exercise in learning xhtml through a realistic application. I look forward to learning more because the design elements in my head are not coming across because of my current lacking coding abilities. Had I been doing this for Little Read Book, I would request access to higher resolution digital files (especially for the heading pic).
One challenge I am having is putting different fonts or writing and an image on the same line. The other is I zip-filed "all" my pics and content but when I emailed the file to myself and opened it on a different computer the formatting changed.

Web site accessibility analysis
Erin and Michael critiqued http://www.littlereadbook.com/, the website for the independent book store in Wauwatosa.
Initially, the home page loaded without showing navigation buttons on the left side of screen. Aesthetically, the page has a "post-in" collage feel with squared bits of in unrelated information seperated by boxes.
There is no difference in view when the styled page is viewed without style.
For readers with visual impairment, there are no features to enhance font size or increase word contrast.
There is no sound so audial impairment wouldn't be a concern.
