Hello.

I am not blind but I have just made the realization that my company's website is likely very unfriendly to blind or otherwise visually-impaired users and I would like to change that. I haven't yet made any changes and I am very early in the research process. Would anyone be willing to give me some feedback on the current state of my company's site and offer followup advice after I've made suggested changes? ~~I must state that there is no compensation for this~~, it's just my weekend side project and I'm just hoping to make some people's lives a little easier.

If anyone is interested I can DM you my company name or post it here if that is acceptable. Alternatively, any general advice or things to consider/read on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


EDIT: I've done a little poking around here and found a thread with some opinions that made me want to revise and clarify my request:

To clarify, this accessibility project is not an officially sanctioned effort by the company (yet) and therefore no funds are set aside for this work. My idea is to collect a set of problems and points of advice and propose the changes (and possibly do some myself). It's obvious to me now that my request may have seemed insensitive so I'd like to say that I am open to discussion of compensation but cannot guarantee anything (yet).

My impression is that the number of blind users using our website (or any for that matter) would be slightly less than 1%, so this isn't an attempt to capture additional revenue but merely a "good feeling" idea I wanted to make a reality. I will however defer to this community's advice on how to make this request more appropriate. Please understand that I'm coming in cold on this issue with merely a genuine desire to help!

Thanks.
