Before you all start blowing each others trumpets (I almost said something
else then), why not read what I said, I can appreciate why accessibility is
a primary concern for many businesses, but some industries would probably
value visual design over accessibity - yes I am sure that it is very
possible to get the two things together, but many sites that claim to be
truly accessible are not the most visually stunning in the world.

Flash for example would be described as being inaccessible, but the vast
majority of pro photographers are using flash at least in part, and they
probably don=B9t give a toss about google, because that is not part of their
marketing strategy - that=B9s what agents are for .
