Hi everyone,

Wondering what you use for examples of pages that are both WCAG 2.0 AA
accessible and designed in an aesthetically pleasing fashion. There are
lots of pages out there that are AA compliant, but manage to achieve this
compliance by being mostly plain text. What's AA compliant and provides
pretty things to look at?

thanks,
Katherine

The flip side could be interesting: What are some (relatively complex) pages that _sound_ "sexy"?
