In the class on web accessibility I teach here at the university is
developing a set of redesign pages as part of the course work.  It can be
found at:
http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/courses/2002-01-LIS350AR/redesign/

I also teach an on-line course on web accessibility designed for web
developers.  I talk in the course about creating more accessible web designs.
