Every question in the comment above has an answer. I suggest the poster make an effort to meet with a disabled person and see what accessing the internet means to them. I’m a legally blind person, so I’ll ust say that the website should have text that I can navigate, magnifay, and use text-to-speech software with if necessary. The colors should be of sufficient contrast so that I can actually read the site.

What is meant by that? Is a website supposed to compensate for color-blindness? How about total blindness? How would a blind person even navigate a website? How about someone with cerebral palsy who can’t control his hands? How could websites possibly help him with his disability?
I have seen braille on a drive-up bank teller machine–where pedestrians should not be, esp if blind.
Do we demand that every book come out with every-other page in braille? no. charities and publishers offer books on tape. problem solved. Is every book on tape? No of course not.
Should we force musicians to offer translations of their music for the deaf? There is no such thing. Subtitles on movies don’t even try.
