Why text-only is bad for you — and everyone else

Good points over at bestkungfu on accessability.

There are mil­lions of Web users who don’t even con­sider them­selves dis­abled: you might know one as “Dad” or “Grandpa,” who can’t quite see as well as they used to, or never quite got the hang of mou­s­ing around. Users like these wouldn’t know an “acces­si­ble” from a cru­cible. They’re going to use your site, and they’re going to get stuck. And they’re going to get angry, espe­cially if you hard-coded the font size below their abil­ity to read it. How, praytell, will that lit­tle dis­abil­ity ghetto you coded save you now?
