Absolutely! Accessible does /not/ mean cutting corners when it comes to 
visual design (OK, you usually have to avoid Flash but Flash is pretty 
limited for usable informational content sites anyway). Have a read through 
these tips - they are aimed at people who want to make their weblog more 
accessible but many of them are equally relevant to other sites:

There are some good links to web accessibility resources here:
