I put this site together for Paul's Accessibility class last summer:

http://homepage.mac.com/accessibility/big_one/

This uses an entirely CSS-based layout, and can by "skinned" with the
following:

http://homepage.mac.com/accessibility/big_one/?vanilla.css

and

http://homepage.mac.com/accessibility/big_one/?hc.css

The above all use the same HTML file, with different CSS files. They also
hold up pretty well when you increase font sizes - especially if you
increase the browser width as well.

If you follow any links, you'll be given the default look of the page.
