Surely it is not rocket science for designers of websites to incorperate accessibility when they are designing their sites. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mobeen Iqbal" <mobeeniqbal@xxxxxxxxx>

possibly, i'm always up for a challenge half the time though they aren't willing to take suggestions for accessibility in to account especially if they're catering for sighted people as well. its worth a try though, you could suggest it to them and see if they are willing to redesign the sight or have it redesigned for them?

Cheers for that and maybe you should put yourself forward to our local newspaper to design their website, could do with some improvements.

Just a quick question on this issue please.
Do these societies take into account the fact that many people use screen readers too ,or are we the forgotten ones.
Many thanks

Hello Everyone.

I have been asked to design a few websites for blind societies and i'd like some feedback from people on the following.

1. I have already enabled the option of changing text size in realtime. Do you prefer to have the choice of changing the contrast of the website? If so, how many contrast options should be made available? 2. What colours are easy on the eye for visually impaired users? I know that magnification suites often have the option to change colours, so i've been wondering if we should just stick to a default colour scheme across the hole site and let people have the choice to customise using their magnifying software.

Any help would be much appreciated, as always many thanks in advance.

Very best wishes,

Mo.
