Please try to add a subject to your emails. Also try not to add attachments
that are not relevant to the topic at hand.
So, about the website, let me tell you what I do. I am not blind and even I
have problems with design. Only a good designer knows what is really good
visually. I am no designer, so....I just try to reuse an existing html
template. There are lots for free in the internet. I find one that I like
and just change the text and graphics.
Not sure why you do not like Drupal or Wordpress, both are great tools and
I use them when the site actually needs to look more professional that just
using a single template. Those CMS tools provide many things a simple
template cannot: a contact form, special pages for articles, sidebars, just
to name a few examples.
Sure you can always ask a designer how things are going, but, again, there
are lots of templates already made by good designers, for free. I suggest
you just get one, change it a little bit and publish it in a free site for
others to view/review provide comments and there you go.
Now the QT framework is for doing desktop GUI, that is another topic.
Now if you really really want to do it just by yourself, my recommendation
would be to use something that provides a CSS framework that already
provides the basic pieces of how things should look, like for example
bootstrap or bulma or Zurb

Hello guys,
this topic might be one of the more common ones discussed between blind
developers, but I thought it'd be worth bringing it up again.
I frequently think about creating my own website and tried several
different ways already. I studied computer science for multiple degrees
already and thus don't want to go with CMS like Drupal or Wordpress,
which I already tried, but it doesn't feel professional enough for my
taste. Thats why I always come back to writing my own, which is not a
problem per-se, but it won't just look great due to me not being able to
properly format the website.
I often think about GUI frameworks like Qt, which deffinitely need
people who can see and move stuff around from time to time, but thanks
to designing patterns like layouts, boxes and such, a good-looking
simple GUI can deffinitely be done as a blind person without having to
fiddle around too much withthe graphics. I wasn't able to find something
comparable in the web world yet unfortunately.
What is your experience with this topic? Do you have a website which you
developed on your own without sighted help or what did you ask them to
do for you? How would you approach such a thing?
I'm currently thinking about a new attempt in writing a page in react
based on bootstrap and some other pre-defined packages, hoping that I
can ask a gweb designer to do the CSS for me as soon as all the content
is finished, but i'm deffinitely stepping onto new territory here for me.
Thanks.
Best Regards.
