  9. Five Stages of Accessibility

  10. Five Stages of Accessibility • “This is a web ‘application‘ so those rules don’t apply to us” • “We’re not the government so we don’t have to make this accessible”

  11. Five Stages of Accessibility • “I can’t believe they’re making us do this!” • “This is just going to cost us money that we’ll never make back!”

  12. Five Stages of Accessibility • “What about making it just level A compliant instead of AA?” • “Can we just leave that part for later?”

  13. Five Stages of Accessibility • “Sigh. We’ve done all this work, and its made no difference, and that consultant still told us we did it wrong…” • “This is really hard, and there’s so much to think about”

  14. Five Stages of Accessibility “Lets make things as accessible as we can, in a way that doesn’t compromise our business goals, or the aesthetic quality of our site. And, if we need to make changes later to make it more accessible, then we’ll do that too.” “We can do this!”

  15. What can a CMS user do? Ensure the content we create online is accessible.

  16. Non-text Content Something that is represented visually, such as an image, it should have a brief text description embedded in the code.  This description should reflect the purpose of the image and the context in which it is being used. Key Issues Identified

  18. Key Issues Identified Info and Relationships If a style was applied to visually indicate that something is a page heading, table heading or a list, make sure that the appropriate markup is was used. So that when the presentation changes (e.g. the style sheets are turned off), that information and relationships are preserved.

  20. Key Issues Identified Using h1-h6 tags to identify headings A screen reader can recognize the code and announce the text as a heading with its level, beep or provide some other auditory indicator. Screen readers are also able to navigate heading mark-up which can be an effective way for screen reader users to more quickly find the content of interest

  21. Examples Headings – Example <H1> <H2> <H3> <H2> <H3>
