And while plain text sites have hopefully improved in six-eight years, I suspect that the rise of rich web apps (as mentioned in other comments) would mean that overall percentages of accessible sites could have remained the same or even fallen since then.
- malandrew 13y agoDepending how the rich web app is made, I reckon it has the possibility of making things more accessible. With many jQuery based sites it's not uncommon to load all the content for the site in one go, leaving content with visibility hidden or with 0 opacity, meaning that people with screen readers may have tons and tons of content to sort through to figure out what is relevant. Newer template engines make this better since templates are likely to be stored as Javascript objects/functions that are written to the DOM when they are relevant.
