Not everyone wants their webpages to be seen on mobile, this one works perfectly in lynx. Does your website work in lynx?

I would go out on a limb and say yes. Any website designed with screen reader accessibility in mind would work with Lynx, which is a more capable browser than screen readers.

That's not really true: JAWS, the most popular screenreader, works with IE and Firefox.

You can have a single-page javascript app be totally accessible. You could also have an ASCII art app that renders perfectly in lynx be totally inaccessible to a screen reader.
