To many people, web site accessibility involves screen readers. Well, not all the visually impaired were created equal. Consequently, there needs to be a variety of routes to accessibility. For me, and many others, simple changes are all that is necessary to make a site readable.
Most often, easily adjustable font and color schemes are all this is necessarily. But web sites need to be designed properly for these to work. Too often, enlarging text causes serious layout problems. Columns overlap with each other. Images cover text or vice versa. Poor design, even if it is accessible to a screen reader, can be inaccessible to all the users who rely on their browser’s zoom function to access that site.
So, remember that accessibility is not simply a matter of proper image tagging. There is diversity in ability and so diversity in accessibility.
