Making wheelchair ramps and wide doors for the physically disabled sounds a lot like 'making music for the deaf'. It can be done and people are doing it, but it just seems like the most inefficient thing to do.

/s

We design buildings with accessibility in mind, why should we not do the same for websites? Blind and visually impaired people have just as much use for the internet as you do.

Edit:

'Making music for the deaf' is a poor use of simile that doesn't really represent the reality of the situation. A more realistic and illuminating analogy would be websites for the visually impaired are like subtitles for the deaf.
