I've recently finished a new site design that meets these requirements,
which you can read more about in the Colophon. My goal was to make it
visually appealing while also meet the doubleA compliance, bobby, w3C
validation for HTML4.01 transitional, CSS2.
Here's the site URL:
http://www.brainstormsandraves.com/index.shtml
and here's the Colophon:
http://www.brainstormsandraves.com/colophon/index.shtml
It seems like a lot of people think you must sacrifice anything that begins
to be visually appealing in order to meet these requirements; however,
that's really not the case.
And if you try the above site using Lynx or other plain text reader you'll
see that the above site works just fine.
I'm also the editor for WebsiteTips.com, where you'll find a section of
annotated resources on Accessibility issues:

Hope that helps. :-)
Warmly,
Shirley
