Accessible chocolate!
Mar. 11th, 2010 02:04 pmTurtle Alley is a truly fabulous source for handdipped chocolate and candy: the Salem location is the place where I bought all the wonderful candy for the Lovecraft tea party, which received lots of positive happy noises from the attendees (including a kudos from LJ user nineweaving on finding real black licorice, and in bat form no less).
You can mail order from Turtle Alley's Web site, but up until now the site was really not very accessible. The new Web site design appears much more screen reader-friendly (although I haven't tried ordering from it yet, but I can state that the staff is very friendly regarding placing orders by phone).
And just in time for Irish Stout truffles and Easter candy.
Also, Turtle Alley will be present at this event which makes me wish I could be there

That's right, you get to eat your way through New Orleans, from the French Quarter to Swamp country, and you don't even have to be a zombie to join in. I'm taking notes for my someday trip to the Big Easy.
And also re accessible interfaces, yesterday I had to place a customer support phone call to Audible and not only was the customer service person friendly and helpful, but today I received an e-mail request to fill out a customer satisfaction survey. I was shocked to discover that the survey was easily accessible with a screen reader. It's almost as if Audible thought that blind customers might be a significant demographic or something. Whatever the reason, I wish more companies had this attitude.
