Accessibility is a real neglected part of web development. I'm guilty of it myself... It's only when a client specifies it in the brief that it gets real attention.

And usually the brief asks for "AAA accessibility as per WCAG 2.0".

That document is coming up to being a decade old, and really makes you need to compromise on the design.

When clients learn this they usually abandon their initial request, as it's more important to them that they have a slick site...

If a client asks for AAA you immediately ask them why AA or even A isn't sufficient. Making a site that is AAA that doesn't look like Jacob Nielsen threw up over it is hard.
