Well, it's a little of both. Say a blind person tries to access, how does
he know where the links go without ALT text? Or a slow dialup on a busy
day where some of the images crap out and don't load.

I'm on dialup, 2:30 so far and no content.

Oh, that's it? A pic of some dude in a dress by a schoolbus? Why do i
click on that?

Site needs CONTENT. Right now it's all dressing and no lettuce.

Homestar links score you a big plus. Oh, wait, they don't work.

Needs a LOT of work. First page should have something to make me want to
stay. There's literally NOTHING there.

Managed to lock up konqueror
so that it has to be closed down!

Mozilla fared better but it's a very
slow loader.

You can see from the lynx display that there's
absolutely no information on the page that is not
provided by an image.
It's really unusable.

Ah, perhaps I should be more clear. We're well aware there is no
content. This is just the site design itself. Content will be added
later.

And for a small town, how many blind people actually surf the web?
I'm not saying that blind people should be ignore completely, but
clearly, IMO, dealing with the majority of the populace is the first
goal, yes?

Loads into lynx in 3 seconds.

How many webusers, especially in a small town, actually use linux?
