Would you be able to comment on this website? http://www.looktel.com since it's important for us to target the visually impaired but wanted to get some outside validation to see if we designed and implemented the site in the right way for situations just like this.

The only thing that really stands out is the video. There's no transcript for the video or any real narration. It's a wonderful product, and the video does a great job of explaining to a person who can see well what the product will do, but I'm afraid that your target audience might not get as much out of it.

I'd recommend adding some descriptive narration to the video.

OT: I'm excited for the product. When can I try this out for myself? Soon? Please? :)

You bring up an excellent point here Brian! I'd love to hear other things like this that aren't really development issues per se (no amount of unobtrusiveness will get us video transcripts). Are there other non-development issues we should keep in mind?

I can take a quick look, but you may want to contact me privately if you'd like a serious review.
