Ideas put forth so far include:

The site would need to be mainly text only - with pictures kept to a minimum.

Profile pictures could still be posted so that a sighted person could describe how a person looked to someone with a vision impairment.

More descriptive fields would need to be added for items such as;

• Hair and eye color
• Clean shaven or bearded
• Height
• Body build etc.

This would give a member a better idea of a person for those that can not see a profile photo.

Any anti-spam captcha's would need to be able to "speak" the captcha letters or numbers.

The website would need to be designed to be readable by a large number of different screen readers.

If we get enough interest from people we may create a dating area on the Disabled World web site for the blind and visually impaired.
