The only 'information' in the site I mentioned is what something
'looks like'. If you can't see it, there is nothing you can do to
help that.
Sure you can.
Being unable to see something doesn't mean "unable to visualize".
In fact, it may be the seeing who are less able to visualize - resulting
in missing cues, and missing or non-descriptive alt-attributes, for the
non-seeing to visualize on.
I'm deliberately not focusing on blind people, because they are just
part of the group that for one reason or another is unable to "see"
what's presented on a web site.
To me it is especially important to provide non-visual cues when a
site's prime function is visual - not necessarily so when the visual
side of a site is less important.
