In my country there is a very well known yearly contest named Internetics.
Well, most of the sites that get awards in that contest, are horrible from
the point of view of the blind. So a contest only doesn't mean anything.

Please tell us where can we see the web page made by that blind guy, and I
will tell you if a blind person can do it without sighted help.
I've seen many messages on this list telling how cool web pages can a blind do, with with no single example.

Hi All,
Where I consult, one of our fellow listers was on a team who won a very
prestigious award. The team developed a highly visible web application.
Jeff Fidler designed and coded the GUI interface for the site using HTML,
CSS and Javascript. He used Section 508 and W3C techniques and the sighted
people in the company rave about it.

I write this to urge anyone who thinks that someone who is blind cannot
design Web interfaces well to keep on trying. You can do it.
