Is it actually custom or are you buying a COTS product and tweaking. If it
is made by hand there isn't anything special to do. WebAIM, among other
places, has various resources on how to code/check for accessibility. If
you are buying a COTS it really depends on the overall accessibility of the
base system, what you want/need to do, and how much access do you have to
the system. Some products you can easily fix, whereas others, you'd need to
re-engineer the product to make it accessible.
