Is this site actually for visually impaired? Or for those helping the visually impaired? Visually it looks nice but subtle textures, white text on a yellow background, etc. might be tough to make out for some. Contrast gets better towards the middle and bottom of the page!
Hi Ted, good question and observation. The site is mainly for people who want to help their visually-impaired loved ones, but there will be a high-contrast version and other stuff to make the site accessible to visually-impaired people too.
Part of a project I'm collaborating on with Regina . This is a reduced size, cropped portion of the site's header for the Society for the Blind. I am trying to depict the assistance, support and warmth provided by the society.

Still a lot a tweaking to be done - most of it will be done in the browser.

Looking amazing so far. Not too sure on the font used for the navigation, although tough to say until we see the full page.
Great stuff :)

Regina, this is such a difficult topic to address but I think you are handling it really well. It feels so nice. The bold type is great.
