Hi

I'm currently developing a book about web accessibility, so I wanted to 

ask you for your input.  What are the things you worry about most when 

you're making a website accessible? What sort of information do you look 

for when you're starting work? What would make that easier or more 

approachable - or is it easy enough to do and you don't really worry about 

it??  



any info you can give me will be greatly appreciated! 



many thanks 

Ela
