Very good points – one and all. Usage statistics are thrown around on almost all the sites dealing with this subject. But it’s really difficult to find the hard sources for this data (which I need to convince my client’s it’s money worth spending). Would you mind sharing some of the sources for your numbers?

That is a good point Joaquin, there are different levels of any accessibility concern. What we were looking at was just how large of an audience you could be blocking from your site due to accessibility issues.

Not all sites have an audience of 30% with accessibility issues, but it could very well get up to that amount (or higher).

Remember that visual disabilities has to be taken with a fine grain:

- total blindness: browsing using all text is a good measure, testing with screen readers is better.
- color blindness: check that you’re not resorting solely on colors to help users understand what an element on the UI does, test your site in gray scale to check for good contrast, disable images and make sure the site is readable and contrast is good with your background and foreground color selections.

Here are some links I’ve found regarding accessibility http://delicious.com/joaquin_win/accessibility
