Dear Ravindra,

a few initial gut reactions (there is no intent to insult but I believe honest feedback will have the greatest value for you):

- do not use all uppercase (whether in email communication or on web sites), it's difficult to read
- the visual appearance of your website makes it relatively difficult to access for users without visual disabilities
- widened character spacing (as used in your headings) makes it difficult for most people to read the text
- the structure of the start page seems illogical to me: a side aspect "Tag cloud" seems to be the main heading for the main content ("Introduction" etc.)
- there is no recognizable heading/structure nesting for headings "Assistive technologies used for web browsing" and the items below it like "Screen reader software" etc.
- there should always be a space character before an opening parenthesis
- a sentence like "More on accessibility legislations @ WAI and Web Aim Accessibility Guide Lines" is too much on the jargon side to be easily understood by those who don't know this stuff already


Again - this is just intended as some feedback, for which you did ask...
