NCLD-Youth's website (http://www.ncld-youth.info), a site I designed and developed, was recently launched. The site is managed via my custom content management system.
One compontent of the site is an interactive timeline about disability history. The timeline was developed completely without the use of Flash, so it fully accessible, diplays on non-Flash supported devices like the iPhone, and prints nicely. It uses plain old XHTML, CSS, and javascript (jQuery).
