Unbelievable. One of the topics I look forward to writing about in the book is accessibility. It’ll be challenging, but a learning experience. I’ve been searching high and low along with Bob Regan’s help and have yet to find a qualified Web site. Not only does it need to be compliant, but also it needs to be attractive to prove the point that accessible Web sites don’t have to be blah.

I looked into several government Web sites listed on an accessibility list, after all, they’re supposed to be compliant — and yet, I found problems with them and tossed them out. I’m sure there are educational institutions with accessible Web sites — but the specific institution wouldn’t be of interest to very many. I try to pick examples that would interest an audience of broad interests.

I got some recommendations from other accessibility experts, but either it wasn’t a Web site that would make sense to the general public (because it has a niche audience) or the site was so plain, that it was an undesirable example. Help?!
