DESCRIPTION
There are many accessibility rules and several sets of accessibility guildelines. Developing an accessible website is hard. Drupal can help you. The most important thing Drupal does for your website, is that by default it makes sure your website is not inaccessible. The road to accessibility is much longer though. We'll step through several processes you can put in place to ensure accessibility of a website. This session will introduce the different accessibility guildelines. What they are, which ones you should pay close attention to and how they apply to a website. We'll see which components of the accessbility rules relates to Drupal as a CMS, which parts relates to editors and webmasters and different tools you can use with Drupal to help you ensure a website stays accessible over time.TRANSCRIPT
