The Web Standards Project has an update on the National Federation For The Blind’s class-action smackdown against the woefully inaccessible Target.com. While no one should have to, at this point, evangelize web accessibility to their bosses and web developers, this event marks the single largest (potential) profit-loss as a result of non-standards-compliant web design. So, if you ARE having problems getting your designers/developers/employers to take accessibility seriously, point’em to these articles.
(Of course, if your coworkers aren’t going to care about disabled users unless there’s a solidly profitable reason, you should probably get a new job).
When they can and they won’t do it , then is time for action.
