I have only really been strict on my accessibility issues since going freelance as I dont want to get stung by my clients and form my experience, web accessibility is quite simple as far as programming goes. Like you say, as long as its planned in at the beginning and you set out building a compliant website it takes no longer than and tables layout site for example. the tricky bit comes in working out your x/y coordinates in your stylesheet and DIV's (if you go that route) and then testing it all afterwards.

I use a fusebox methodology to work with so I only have to develope one or two layout files anyway so the accessibility thing ends up being easy (or should I say, not too difficult).

like I said - definitely check out those articles. They outline the answers
to the question of who this effects very well. It also addesses how to make
code WAI compliant... which does not really take as long as you'd think...
not if you account for it in the begining and have some coding standards in
place. Anyone who tells you it takes a lot more man-hour time to develop
something that is WAI compliant is just wrong. What does take a little bit
longer is Q/A... obviously if you want to comply with something (WAI or ANY
OTHER STANDARD OUT THERE) it is going to mean testing to make sure you
comply. The actual coding bit doesn't have to take much (or any) longer.
There are also, like I said, a bunch of standard practices you can use that
will tend to result in compliant code.

Guys,

Just wading through the WAI for valid information regarding my former
employers clients that I wnat to poach (sorry, new clients that have
nothing to do with my former employer but want accessibility). What is the
law regarding commercial / eCommerce sites as it stands now. I am confused
over legality and whether it is discrimination yet if an ecommerce site is
not accessible.

the act seems to say that anybody providing a service to the public. does
this mean eCommerce sites?
