hello
i am currently creating a website for a client, and am finding it considerably challenging as they require it to be accessible by the disabled (screenreader support, relative text etc)
do any of you have examples of well-designed sites (potentially of your own making) that are -truly- accessible to the deaf/blind/motor-impaired and w3c compliant?
cheers!

I've packed all my books up, but if you check out "Designing With Web Standards" by Jeffery Zeldman I do believe you'll find some good info in this regard.

Thankyou for those links Style Junky. Perfect timing as a client just sent me a mail requesting info on that subject, and I was able to reply like speedy gonzales, nice one.
