Albert, But blind users are probably not even one percent of the market.
and they surely don't make sites inaccessible on purpose. They probably just don't have in depth knowledge of the intricate facets of screen readers like jaws. If we, who use the program, don't even always have it, how could one expect it from sighted web designers?

I have always felt that web designers, developers and programmers don't really adhere too the w3c standards for good web design when it comes to the proper labeling of graphics for persons that use screen readers. It may pass the test for the first time after the web site has been developed, But if the designers make changes too the web page over a series of months, then we as blind computer users are screwed. Just when the page works sufficiently for a blind person too navigate successfully, the page is no longer user friendly. Just look at what the frustration that this lady is going through just too be able too use the banks web site. It may look more visually appealing for the sighted user, but for the blind, or visually impaired person, it then becomes a real night mayer.
