That's why I use Mojo Portal.  I like what it has to offer, and then all you 
have to do is create a module for it versus starting from scratch.  (that's if 
you want more features than what it already offers, that is).

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).
