In web accessibility, much emphasis is placed on making a site's content work with screen readers.  While this is a crucial step in the accessibility process, there are many other measures to take into consideration.  The way a site looks will greatly impact the user's experience.  Designers can have a large influence on a site's web accessibility as it relates to any disability, especially visual disabilities, perception disabilities, intellectual disabilities, memory impairments, and physical disabilities.
