Do you do any testing on your sites for accessibility?

Depends on the client to be honest. For the most part no.

It would add on a hell of a lot of work. I would hope my sites degrade nicely enough and I've tested a few in the past and been nicely surprised.

Once you start taking into account colour blindness, font sizes being too small ... and so on you're talking about a good bit of extra work.

Yes there are certain things you can do handily enough that help but it'll still miss out a hell of a lot
