I sincerely doubt that. You can certainly do better than the bupkis most people are already doing with accessibility.

So then you lay out the options, with the pros and cons of each. In that case your job is not to decide, but to enable your client to make an informed decision based on their site/budget/customers/whatever.

Yes, exactly. Start where you are. Do what you can.

Your creativity is fine on non-weasel days, I've seen it before. It will come back, or at least, it seems to have done so reliably in the past. You can also borrow other people's creativity if you wish.

1) Don't quit before you start.
2) Look back over your list of parameters. If you veer outside your function zone there, and can't get it back on track, that's a sign to stop. Do have a rational exist plan in case things go badly wrong.
