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). -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Tseng Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2011 4:26 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: web-design … where does one start? 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).
