... and this too.

You obviously know a lot about accessibility and how close or far WCAG comes
to meeting the needs of those who need to use accessibility technologies. If
you were/are looking to market either web development/design services or
assist with making a website accessible, how would you market your services?
Many web designers provide a portfolio to show what they have done/can do.
As you have said, true accessibility must be demonstrated - what would/might
you do to prove to prospective clients that you can make an accessible
website?
