Yesterday I was at the mall trying to have lunch and I stood before two restaurants, both 30 feet away from me. I wanted to see the price tags for each restaurant and the result was the following. The shots were taken with a lousy Nokia XpressMusic but they totally say my point:

[caption id="attachment_63" align="alignnone" width="465" caption="Accessibility 2"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-63  " title="Accessibility 2" src="http://localhost:8888/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Image044-465x620.jpg" alt="Accessibility 2" width="465" height="620" />[/caption]

The first shot says where the price is and you can actually can read something with little effor while in the last you can't even tell where the price is...!

What better example than this one to show that important content must be well represented through appropriate style and positioning. <strong>Show your "price tags" big!</strong>
