Braille and Blind Accessible

Hello all,
Does anyone know some good places to get Braille business cards printed? My client mentioned a folding business card that he had seen once. When you opened it it had the actual business card info on one side and Braille on the other.
Also, eventually they want a website that will be accessible to blind people. Does anyone know what to keep in mind to make it so? My client mentioned tagging pictures and video so that the audio will read back to the person when they mouse over it.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!!

Any printer that does embossing or the like should be able to help with the braille process (embossing). There is a font called, I think, Braille (funny, that), but be cautious – there are a lot of different codes used to translations into Braille. Maybe talk to your local Society for the Visually Impaired (if that’s what they call them where you are).
BTW, this year is the centenary of Braille.
- Good idea, I will contact them. And yeah, I was worried about the translation thing... Thank you!TeganTorch

Make sure people can tab through all fields and complete all tasks using only keyboard...
Consider also just embossing the standard text as an alternative or supplemental to braille for some of the text, such as logos, main company title..

the code snippet above is syntactically incorrect.
this is more correct:
<img src='source_to_image_here' title='this_is_the_title_attribute'/>

Just a genuine thought - is there anyone here who is blind and reads this site with a screen-reader ?
