I don't get it - who's ignoring them?
You design the page to be accessible and if the client asks for changes
that would make it inaccessible

What about all the redesigns that I don't get because I insist on at least
attempting to increase accessibility? What about all the bidding wars I lose
because I'm going to take that little bit longer? My clients expect total
revision of a page according to some obscence specs to take 20 minutes
Hon, if your advice is 'make it accessible' and they then
don't make it
accessible, it wont be *you* at risk, surely :)
Particularly when you keep your correspondance to show that you *did*
tell them to make it accessible, as above :)
Yeah but are you sure about that?
Lot's of
Lachlan,
So, please, folks, while we're here : How do you get your
clients to care
about accessibility?
None of our clients, large or small, care or even think about accessibility,
for the most part. That's partly because we don't make them sites with fixed
microfonts or JavaScript or Flash
. The
developers who don't care are going to suffer.
Just my two cents ;)

Afternoon all,
One of the best quick overviews of the state of accessibility I have seen
is:

bsite-legal-requirements.shtml
It covers the UK's DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) and has some handy

Thanks folks for the great responses. I will certainly incorporate some of
the things you've mentioned into my business behaviours from now on
However, it seems fairly apparent that none of you have encountered the
problems I'm talking about (except Marc, I think). Perhaps I wasn't clear
enough.
The kind of clients I get are clients who think this
is a great site
: www.canadianlakes.com.au
And it looks fine, for the kind of site it is. If I had worked on it, it
would look almost the same, except it would be valid html and css and it
wouldn't use frames. Just because you're building
