Thanks Darrel,

Definitely a start. I really like any failures in accessibility found
post-lanch would be fixed for free -- that should be written into contract.

Any more ideas out there?

Cheers,
Glenda

Ask for referrals and links to recently created sites by said firm.

Granted, just because they haven't built a fully accessible site doesn't
necessarily mean they don't know how.

I'd ask if they are aware of web accessibility issues and know how to build
a site that meets generally agreed upon web standards. Insist that any
failures in accessibility found post-launch be fixed for free.
