you shouldn't need to provide text resizing widgets.

*all* text should resize - that includes icons and navigation

white on black might be hard for some

dropdown menus are *never* accessible - think poor motor control or
keyboard only users - try tabbing round your site...

"skip to" links might have been useful - there's a lot of navigation to
listen too before you get to the content!

etc.

try submitting your site to the GAWDS list or on the accessify forums
for more feedback.

it's a good start though.
