Web accessibility depends on more than web developers.
Different people and technology components have vital role.
Now:
Web accessibility depends on more than web developers. This presentation tells you about different people and technology components that each have a vital role in providing Web accessibility. It:
[bulllets in slide]
Web content is the information in a web
page or web application,
including text, images, forms, sounds, and such.

People ("users")
use
Web browsers, media players,
assistive technologies, and other "user agents"
to get and interact with web content.

Web developers
use authoring tools and evaluation
tools
to create web content.

Next, let's take a closer look at each component.
We'll use alternative text equivalents or
"alt text" as an example of how

Web accessibility depends on every component fulfilling its responsibility.
How well each component supports accessibility makes a big difference...
