>My company designs websites. I'm looking to consult with somebody who is blind and who can help us understand how to make our websites more accessible for people who are blind.
>One of my developers is starting to make improvements to our sites in order to make them more accessible to people who use screen readers. But I'd really like to get real world input.
>My guess is we'd need to consult with somebody a couple hours per week for a while.
>If you're interested, please PM me.

Where are you located? If you’re in the SF Bay Area PM me, I know a lot of great accesible technology resources and thank you for putting in the effort to be accessible. Also, look at the latest WCAG guidelines if you haven’t already.
