Thanks for the tip! I hope it’s not too late to sign-up for this.
Unfortunately it’s became a usual practive for small and mid-sized companies not to think about people with disabilities when developing a website. And even court can’t change this — until people start thinking that accessibility is of the same importance as usability and design.
