Steve Ivy's Weblog - Since 1999 - XII Ed.

Attractive *and* Accessible?

I'm reading Mark Pilgrim's Dive Into Accessibility site, and also Joe Clark's Building Accessible Websites. Both are invaluable websites.

However, as a designer, I must note that both "suffer" from a very minimalistic approach to the design. I'd like to see some sites that are attractive and expressive and are still accessible.

Update: Just as I was about to post this I remembered the CSS Zen Garden, which is both visually stunning, and Bobby AAA and Section 508 certified. Not bad!
