The only information that I've looked at on this topic is at the W3C site.

http://www.w3.org/WAI/ I also use the HTML 4.0 Validator at

http://validator.w3.org/ which suggests at least the use of alternate text for

images.



I found frames to be easy to use when designing a site, but frames seem to be a

problem for text-only browsers. I figure blind people would use the text-only

browser with text to speech software. I think that's what I'm most concerned

about; The Web is so graphics oriented. And, as my wife was told in school, Web

sites should cater to the majority (I guess that means sighted people using

Internet Explorer on a Windows PC).



I think what would help me is to be immersed in the perspective of the person

who would benefit from the accessibility guidelines. How does a sighted person

know what it's like to navigate the Internet without being able to see? Of

course, that would need to be followed by ways to overcome those problems.
