Web accessibility reviews by professionals are still rare in Indonesia. Please correct me. I think website accessibility is not a popular issue here. Not yet. At least, most of weblog design competitions, government and education websites, do not have its requirements. Do we have web accessibility law? But I knew some web authors in Indonesia put their respect on widely accessible site. Actually, they already know the theory. Some Indonesian websites have posts about web standard, usability, and accessibility. Not as much as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) topics. As far as I know, some reviews about accessible website are available in Indonesian. In the past, I found 3-4 websites that provide free evaluation on web accessibility by human, not machine (only). One of them is Accessites.org--a group of web accessibility gurus-- with its Universal Design Award. And now, one of its team member, collaborating with Practical eCommerce website, starting The Accessibility Review.
A monthly series that offers a candid assessment of an online store, providing insight for ecommerce merchants to improve the accessibility of their websites.
Joseph C. Dolson, known as Joe Dolson, one of web accessibility guru, will review your ecommerce websites submission. For free! This is not a paid consulting review. It would be superficial. But it will help website owners/authors to make their sites more accessible. Especially for disabled people. See the first review: LorisWigsite dot com. Request an accessibility review? Please contact: kate@practicalecommerce.com (sp*m free). Note: I have no affiliation with Practical eCommerce site nor Joe Dolson.

Just like other opinion mentioned on Why Validate? (in bahasa Indonesia). Just unessential weblog

    Well, nyambung yang ada di http://fauzan.dhezign.com/2009/09/02/prinsip-dasar-mendesain-website

    accessibility nggak begitu populer karena web apps memang belum begitu populer di Indonesia. e-commerce pun masih berkutat pada mereka yang entry level sampai mid level.

    :)

    Brian Arfi,
    mungkin kebergunaan/usability masih lebih menjual ya jika dikonversikan dalam dunia ecommerce? :)

    accessibility & usability terkadang sulit utk di implementasikan secara bersamaan, walaupun pasti mungkin mas...

    just my 2 cents :mrgreen:

    setuju dengan bang Arfi, sepertinya eCommerce di Indonesia memang belum berpikir sampai sejauh itu ya? Mungkin pemain lama seperti Bhinneka.com mulai mengadaptasi accessibility?

    Mungkin mereka(para developer eCommerce) kurang memikirkan usability kah? Atau eCommercenya tanpa review pengguna? CMIIW

    Atau memang hal ini kurang trends di Indonesia?

    Planet Orange,
    padahal sebagian SEO sudah mencakup beberapa poin aksesibilitas dan usability.

    ganda,
    biar pelaku eCommerce yang menjawabnya.

    walau tidak mengadopsi aksesibilitas dengan nyata, setidaknya konsep SEO sedikit banyak pasti sudah diimplementasikan.

    kalo dari target pengguna/calon pembeli, seberapa banyak sih pengguna dari kalangan difabel? atau yang men-disable gambar/animasi saat eye-shopping?

    sepertinya lebih menjanjikan usability dibanding aksesibilitas. cmiiw

    kalo review bhinneka, bisa ditelusuri di google [narsis mode: on]. :D

    Apakah web accesibility itu hubungannya selalu dengan orang difabel?

    fanari,
    jika bisa sih, aksesibel seluas-luasnya oleh manusia normal, mesin telusur Internet, termasuk screen reader (difabel), voice browser, small screen, touch screen, keyboard only users, dan pemakai Internet lambat. tergantung target pengunjung. atau ekstremnya, tanpa diskriminasi. :)

    Berarti saya nggak perlu membuang-buang waktu untuk aksesibilitas ya, kalau target pengunjung saya bukan untuk difabel

    choen,
    kembali ke target pengunjung aja kan kalo memang mau dikonversi. :)

    fanari,
    apalagi kalo memang ngga ada hukumnya, ngga ada yang maksa kan..tapi ternyata beberapa konsep aksesibilitas juga terpakai untuk mesin telusur Internet yang 'buta'. :)

    Bagol,
    normatif defacto, selama belum ada hukum sejenis section 508, disability discrimination act (DDA).
