Iain,

I like your analogy. Mind if I borrow it?

My husband worked for a non-profit four years, til he was recently laid off,
and the ways they would worm out of paying for external services and USED
volunteers makes me cringe. Since I no longer required to be loyal, take a
look at www.neilsquire.ca. For an organization that should be a leader in
accessibility, I think there is room for improvement. When will designers
get ALT tags should be EQUIVALENT Information. Rumour is they did pay a
pretty penny for this site.

I've never been impressed by the &quot;we have no money&quot; arguments. Do
these non-profits use lighting collected by mirrors under
streetlamps, or do they expect to pay the rate their utility
supplier charges? The latter, of course. So why don't they want to
pay the price to have professional-looking web sites?
