I agree, just leave things alone.
Cheers Robin.

surely the answer is obviously C. Design should be inclusive and I think we have
seen too many examples of "special" sites not having all the facilities of the
main site or not being properly maintained. I can't even see why the question is
being asked.

Hi,
Apologies if you see this on other lists ...
My name's Bim Egan, I'm the technical lead for RNIB's web access team.
Web designers sometimes look to RNIB for guidance on what sight-impaired
people need to make a site accessible. Though we have no power to
insist that they take our advice, we want to make sure that what we say
is right for you and others .
Could you help us please, by saying which of the following three options
(A, B or C) would be more likely to suit your needs?
A. a text-only site, mirroring the main site with all its features; or
B. A separate, simplified site made easier for sight-impaired people,
but with the risk of missing out on some of the features on the main
site; or
Option C: If it's possible, one website that is accessible for everyone,
sighted and unsighted.
Option B could mean extra cost for web designers, which they may not
like to incur. On the other hand some people who work entirely from the
keyboard tell us that Options A and C can mean far too many key strokes
for them.
Question: Would it be a good idea for RNIB, as policy, to encourage
designers of the more popular or important sites for independent
living, (grocery sites for example) to produce an option B version?
Thank you.
Bim
