Law Office of Lainey Feingold
Law Office of Lainey Feingold, the business site of disability rights lawyer Lainey Feingold, was designed by Mike Cherim specifically to conform to the level of AAA under the WCAG 2.0.

The Keith W. Bell site, at first glance, appeared clean and professional, albeit perhaps fittingly plain.

All of which made navigating this site by keyboard a real no-brainer. All in all, the kind of keyboard friendly site that should be the norm — not the exception.
