I would like some thoughts and opinions about the following. I am providing advice on accessibility issues for Website aimed at people with learning difficulties. The contracted Web designers would like to use flash for much of the site - including the main navigation. Their argument being that they will also offer and alternative version which will be W3c compliant - and thus meet accessibility criteria. Users will enter a compliant page and then choose between HTML and Flash. if they choose HTML they get a compliant site and if they choose Flash they don't. The Flash site is considered to be 'the main site' - and will not be compliant with W3c Accessibility Guidelines. What are peoples thoughts on this? would you advise agains this - or does it not matter - as long as the alternative is accessible?
