exactly.
besides that, with new laws and regulations going into effect (ie: DDA, ADA, etc) it will require sites to begin designing within WAI guidelines and for "all" audiences.
the web isn't a target market...neither are it's users.
(a note about that)
"target audience" is a demographic concept, not a reality on the web. it is an excuse people use.
the fact of the web is that it's global. your 'target audience' doesn't exist. people from all backgrounds, all areas can and will access your product at some point, either through a search engine or through direct contact.
"target audience" in web design deals more with content and information agregrate than how a site is developed.
meaning, you design a site to be accessible to all, even though the information you provide may be focused on a certain group.
that doesn't mean someone 80 years old and blind won't find interest in your site...they just might, but you've excluded that new user completely - so now, especially in ecom, you have lost business. and NO client want's that.
