Here's why ... 15 May 2009 http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/technologies/wolframalpha_-_no_google_killer http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/best_practice_strategy/increase_decrease_text_size_useless I often get asked to include the functions such as "increase and decrease text size" and "print page" on website interfaces, particularly by corporate clients. While the intentions are sometimes good, (frequently for "accessibility reasons") I tend to go a bit blue in the face trying to tell people why it is in actual fact misguided. So I thought I'd briefly explain that your website doesn't have to scream accessible to be accessible. In fact, often it can be the reverse. 04 May 2009 http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/best_practice_strategy/increase_decrease_text_size_useless http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/datalink/mecc_bushfire_royal_commission Datalink made a special presentation to the Royal Commission on the Victorian bushfires testament to the success of the web based emergency system. 29 April 2009 http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/datalink/mecc_bushfire_royal_commission http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/project_news/brimbank_city_council_launches_youth_portal A new Youth Portal, built by Datalink for Brimbank City Council, has been launched. 27 March 2009 http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/project_news/brimbank_city_council_launches_youth_portal http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/project_news/new_look_accord_website_launches A new look Accord website, by Datalink, has launched. 26 March 2009 http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/project_news/new_look_accord_website_launches http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/web_development/fixed_vs_fluid Screen real estate is an often overlooked factor in web design, but can be critical to a website's success. 12 March 2009 http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/web_development/fixed_vs_fluid http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/datalink/youth_portals_play_small_but_important_role_in_bushfire_relief Datalink's Youth Portal is playing a small but important role in bushfire relief in Whittlesea, Nillumbik and the Shire of Yarra Ranges - areas where many young people are currently in crisis. 12 February 2009 http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/datalink/youth_portals_play_small_but_important_role_in_bushfire_relief http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/datalink/datalink_responds_to_bushfire_crisis In light of the weekend's terrible tragedy, Datalink are offering for local councils to use our new emergency coordination software, which has been helping Alpine Shire to manage the crisis in the region, at no cost for the remainder of the fire season. 09 February 2009 http://www.datalink.com.au/company/blog/datalink/datalink_responds_to_bushfire_crisis
