Web Accessibility: The Fellowship of the Guidelines
Many people know about WAI's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the responsibilities of Web developers in making the Web accessible to people with disabilities. But Web developers alone cannot make the Web accessible.
Web browsers, assistive technologies, and authoring tools also have a vital role in Web accessibility. Essential Components of Web Accessibility describes these roles along with the WAI guidelines. (2005-07-22)
Blogs, Wikis, CMS... Got ATAG?
Web content is created by many different types of tools these days: Web log (blog) comment features, Wikis for editing Web pages, content management systems (CMS), e-mail archivers, word processors, and more.
All of these tool are covered by WAI's Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG), which explain:
- how tools should help Web developers produce accessible Web content,
- how to make tools accessible to people with disabilities.
Does your tool know ATAG? (2005-07-22)
