Hi there.

A few thoughts.

1) you might want to use the title attribute on all of your hyperlinks.  It
is used on a few on the site, but not consistently on all of them.  As far
as I know, title was designed specifically for improved accessibility.

2) I can see why a visually impaired person would be impressed/happy.  The
site relies on the very basics of html to logically define it's structure,
and is organized in a very straightforward and intuitive manner.

3) Nice use of contrast.  Everything stands out well.  Looks nice in both IE
5.5 and NS 4.7

4) In IE, the top title/banner doesn't seem quite right.  I see a white
rectangle to the right of the CrissCross Technologies title.  Is that
supposed to be like that?

Great work.  Increasing accessibility is certainly something that all web
designers should aim for.
