I would argue that in a heartbeat - when you're talking about an architectural or otherwise design showcase site - what designer is going to give half a though to blind or visually impaired users? Quite honestly, in a situation like this site... who cares about them? - it's not for people who are blind or visually impaired. >>Clicking images doesn't zoom them. > > So why not use Opera? >>Because there is no "Best viewed in Opera" button on the page ;-) >>Why should people change their browsers to accommodate for bad design >>choices? In response to the statement about images not zooming - maybe the designer didn't want the images to zoom - perhaps it didn't fit into his design vision. Even though there is all the talk about the web being a fluid medium, etc. etc. - sometimes you have a very specific idea and vision for how you want something to look, feel and behave, and nothing is going to stand in your way of doing that. That's the beauty of the web - it can be whatever you want it to be. If you want to have a stunningly beautiful display of nothing meaningful... do it! If you want to spend hours agonizing over and testing usability and accessibility for impaired users - do it!
