But it would be great if there was a web browser where the end user can determine the look and feel of a particular site by setting the font and placement of images, without breaking up the flow. The iPad is a step in the right direction, but there need to be many more apps that are actually useful for people with disabilities. Designing a website with accessibility in mind is very hard.

I said that it wasn't possible to create a web site which was "ideal for everybody." That is a far, far greater challenge than creating a web site which takes disabilities into account. Designing web sites with accessibility has many challenges -- but the problem of impossibility only arises in creating a resource which attempts to compensate for <strong>all</strong> disabilities.

How many disabled friendly websites do we see online? There really isn't many, which is a pity. It just isn't limited to the internet though. They usually get the raw end of stick in all aspects of society.

You need to consider everything on your site, specially the content. However, it would be good if you design the page as you want and just create a link or an icon that someone can click on if they have accessibility issues. In that way, you don't need to sacrifice your design and will also have special access to those who need it. It is a great challenge in creating a web site for special people.
