THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!

That is the main design goal behind OFBiz: easy customization since the only way to get a really good UI is to do so based on very specific requirements... and those requirements tend to change dramatically betweenorganizationsbetween organizations, in many cases even organizations in the same industry.
...
Personalization is an extremely general term, broadly meaning behavior or data that changes according to the user. There are hundreds of features in OFBiz ecommerce and the OFBiz back-end (manager) apps that
would fit this description. Please feel free to send over more details and I (or others) will be happy to comment on them.

It is pretty easy to build sites targeted at different devices, and there are some available OOTB. If by "device" you mean a specific UI then the hhfacility component is a good example. If by "device" you mean specific hardware control (like cash drawers and CC scanners), then the pos POS component (point-of-salePoint Of Sale) has some good stuff.
Accessibility considered?
...
- Ergonomy
- In ecommerce the templates are often changed so much that accessibility ends up more in the hands of the designers and developers who customize the system (so make sure you have a good service provider!). The OOTB ecommerce templates do a pretty good job of this by using styled text instead of images, alt-text on images, and so on.
- For the OOTB (Out Of The Box) back-end functionality, accessibility is considered, and to be maintained it must be considered in customizations. These are primarily web-based applications and to improve accessibility are very text-heavy, etc.
- Note also that OFBiz backend back-end is able to be read from let to right or right to left (try Chinese or Arab languages to check)
- For disabled persons
- We did some effort in the backend back-end part of OFBiz. Sight disabled persons should be able to work with OFBiz without too much pain. For instance, following Jeffrey Zeldman's excellent advices in his "Designing with Web Standards" book (see our books page for details) we have implemented an access key to skip navigation and go diretly to content area. This concept could be extended of course...
