Toucan Europe Ltd.

Part-time employment 1998 - 2000

The sites I designed while working for Toucan are relics from pre-standards days. HTML 4.0 Transitional with a comparatively basic stylesheet. Toucan redesigned its site recently. My old design lasted 4 years.

Accessibility was my priority from the very beginning. However, back in 1998 this simply meant removing all FONT tags from the HTML and labelling images with ALT attributes. My earliest sites were made for Netscape 3. CSS layout was still in the distant future.

For Toucan Europe I developed and maintained a number of ESF funded project websites. Some of them are still online:

• Millennium Volunteers (offline)
• Developing Employment in the Information Society (now offline). For this site I also maintained a subject-specific weblog from 1999 - 2000.
• TAD - Telematics and Disability.
• Online Information on Employment and Training Opportunities for Disabled People (ON-LINE) (a pity that some projects don't live on).
• Pandora Project (offline)
• Teleweb - Information and support for teleworkers (offline)
