Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)

I am currently putting the last touches on the website i am building for the company i have internship at, and i figured that since people of the age of 60 and above might visit the website (my boss is past the 60's anyway) , i'd build in one of those text resize things.

I've done a bit of research on this. There's a group of people on the web trying to look clever by saying you should not have such features on a website, and that you need to educate elderly people. They say you should somehow make clear how to use your browser to change font sizes. I am cool with that, but that i cannot find a spot for on the web page. After all, we are trying to sell a service here, not a "how to use your browser properly."

So i built it in, in a very simplistic manner. People that don't look for it won't notice, people that require it will find it.

So i am wondering, what did you do to meet the WAI on your pages?
