| Jan 6, 2015 at 1:14 | comment | added | paparazzo | Your edits have changed the question. It started as the title a pure cost of creating. And now you have totally changed "So the questions is:" to full experience and nothing about cost. | |
| Jan 5, 2015 at 12:06 | comment | added | Michael Lai♦ | @DA01 I saw how shocked a blind person felt when a bus stopped suddenly one day. I think I felt something similar when I used a screen reader on a website for the first time. Surely we can do better for people with disabilities than just meeting the standards for the sake of compliance. | |

Tried to provide more context for discussion, so the answers can be more focused on the specific considerations given in planning and designing the websites.

| Jan 4, 2015 at 14:46 | comment | added | paparazzo | This is more a technology question than UX. The same question could be asked of web site for mobile. If the current web site has options for phone specific controls then one. If you have an older technology then it may be cheaper to have a separate site for mobile. If the current site was not designed for vision or motor impaired it might be cheaper (and better) to build a separate. | |
