Hi Helen,
I’m really pleased that you’ve found this post useful. To tell you the truth, so did I! While interviewing Robin and talking to him at #pcw09, I felt there was alot of issues on usability and accessibility that I was unaware about. I certainly puts things in perspective for me and I hope to talk more about this in the future. You’re right, I also didnt realize that CMS products had any impact on accessibility. So all in all, it feels like there’s so much more to learn! Please let me know if you find out any good tips that I could possibly share with my readers I’d really appreciate it!

Hi Liz,

Thanks very much for sharing all this. I feel like I have learned a lot. It’s very interesting to watch a video of someone using a screen reader – it’s such a different experience and makes you really think about how empowering / disempowering the web can be for people with disabilities depending on how accessible your site is.

It was interesting to hear Robin talk about accessibility of CMS products and to refer to the threat of litigation and the potential to mitigate the risk by creating a roadmap to an accessible website.
