"As a designer/developer I don't really care about blind people. I don't consider them (gasp!). I do consider PDAs, cellphones, text-only browsers, screenreaders and google."

You're in the accessibility sales business so your response doesn't surprise me, but you misunderstand. The point of the statement is that as a web designer developer, its my job to make pages that work on any device. If the page can be logically handled by a screen reader, thereby providing a usable experience to someone using it then page design succeeds.That's your choice but don't kid yourself that you're building accessible websites. You aren't. You are building standards-compliant websites, and that's not the same thing. You are defining accessibility to be the bits you like doing, and you're pretending the difficult stuff does not exist or isn't important or isn't your responsibility. Steve
Please define what you label as the difficult stuff. Would it be logical document markup so the information makes sense when linearized? Is it using helpful link text? Is it alternate content for images?
