Accessibility

Our site was suffering from some major accessibility issues: browsers without javascript couldn’t access the text content in the sliding panes, screen readers ignored the entire sliding pane section, etc.  A little DOM javascript in the header fixed the problem for us, creating a readable page first and then adding styles to the appropriate sections with javascript for those who had it enabled.  If you don’t have javascript or are using a text browser, the whole page lays itself out without collapsing the panes.  Next up, stripping all the unnecessary code out of the page, cleaning up the markup and making it as fast as possible.
