It's the age old question of how a blind person can write a visually
appealing user interface (or at least one's that's passable).

I would probably start by grabbing a good book on html/js/CSS. There
are ways, for example, to specify in code how things are layed out
relative to each other. Think of laying out things in a grid for
example all done in markup.

Another route to take is just using a CMS in which you can just build
upon a template (presumably made by a sighted individual).
