Add to calendarAt WordPress Accessibility Day, Hidde de Vries (WAI) will talk about how CMSes, like WordPress and others, could be seen and employed as accessibility assistants, helping content authors to get their accessibility right before they publish new pages.
Abstract
Your CMS plays a decisive part in creating accessible content, suggest the Authoring Tools Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG). Whenever a content designer creates content, the CMS could help with the accessibility of it. For instance, when a designer drops in an image, the CMS could point to the ideal text alternative or calculate the consequences for color contrast.
In this talk, you will learn more about what ATAG is and how, with ATAG in mind, CMSes can personally assist content editors on their way to a more accessible website.
