Re:Shitty web design is not a "blind" problem (Score 1)

Agreed. It doesn't take much to make a site accessible to blind people. There's only a couple things to do to nail it down. Make navigating and reading your site simple. Use HTML tags semantically. Javascript should be used to enhance the experience (for the sighted), but not as a requirement to interact with the site. This one is a little tougher, but a quick search on "progressive enhancement" should yield some help in this area. It's important to keep in mind that not everyone has javascript enabled, particularly screen reader users, but others as well. So you site should still function and look reasonably good to them as well. These are particularly important to businesses. sure, it's a minority of people that are blind (estimated 3% in the US), but if you don't make your site accessible to them, you're losing their money.
