Yes I also like when the sighted or the blind have complaints, because most of
the times I know what I need to change for making the site look better. But the
problem is that sometimes the complaints sound like "Oh, but that page is not
nice. Please make it to looke nicely. Can't you?", or "That stock chart has the
lines too proximate, and I can't see them very clear", or "those 3 charts with
volumes and the other 2 indicators should be put in the same image below the
main candlestick chart", and so on.
Well, those charts are generated dynamicly, by the program, and by a program
that was not made by me, because it would take a very long time just to make
that program that generates the graphic, and I need just to change it in order
to "look better", but I cannot see the distances between the lines or other
things like that, (like a sighted person easily can), and I don't have the time
for making studies about how to do that, because this is a very very small part
of the job I need to do.
I know that a blind person that stays at home the entire day in front of the
computer, has the necessary time and power to study and make tests in order to
do this kind of complicated things, but even in that case, they won't be able
to do anything without having some sighted help for telling them how the result
looks.

That's alright, I haven't actually received any complaints. If I ever do
though, it simply indicates an area for improvement. I've always been open
about this to my clients, and they appear to appreciate it.

You cannot ignore the complaints if the complaints come from the customers,
because they might choose to work with one of your competitors.
And most of the times the sighted users don't have any complaints, but just
don't like and just don't use a site that they don't like.

Hey, I'm rather pleased with the layout of gutterstar.net... I'm pretty
sure the layout looks appealing, I know I've put enough work into it for me to
believe this anyway... All I have to do is ignore the complaints?

take a look at:
www.nickykealy.com
www.kenoheiligh.ie
also look at a cached version of nvm.ie and digitaldarragh.com
my own website is down at the moment as I'm restructuring it and the
online version was getting in the way.
I'm by no means a designer on par with a sighted person but it can
definitly be done. it just takes a bit more determination.
