I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. Of course, costs of accessibility can be infinite, but as you can probably guess yourself, in the scope of a web project, it rarely is...

By "accessibility", I mean what most people mean: applying the different guidelines of WCAG 2.0 or any other requirements from WCAG 2.0 inspired government accessibility standards. Therefore, the cost of accessibility is always limited by human or financial resources.
