I believe that River Island got into trouble from having an all-flash shop which isn't accessible to screenreaders etc and they ditched that site for an HTML one.
Everything we do complies to A/AA (sometimes AAA). It's become a habbit and I think it's best practise. Yup, it's a challenge to get a site that's accessible looking good designwise but isn't that what design is all about - the challenge and solution.
Yup, I like the challenge. It's usually clients that come back with "can we have that light grey ...." and i'll be like "yup, but it won't be accessible".With a lot of clients demanding an accessible site these days it's a good badge to have to say that everything we do is accessible. Rather than a "fuck you, design comes before accessibility" badge.
Get a good validator and something to check your colours & contrasts.
