" I have no success in selling accessibility when I try to find clients, nobody buys it, so whatever extra care I make for accessibility is from me, free of charge"
Accessibility is really not that difficult to put in place - I also believe as professionals providing web design / development services that this should not be an addon that we charge but part of what the client should expect too get - imagine a builder charging you to make your house compliant. :) I have a strong belief that here in Australia a lot of websites are going to be tested on discrimination grounds - do you want to be the one bearing this as the provider?
