Accessibility

An item on the assignment requirements list we did not talk about during classes is accessibility, how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

“Website accessibility” (A11Y) is basically about complying to standards like WCAG and WAI

Practically, in terms of web development, one could use a checklist like this one as a reference point.

Drupal is WCAG-compliant. You can read a short text about how drupal manages accessibility and check out drupal’s website accessibility features and modules. There’s also documentation on drupal.org – a list of relevant contributed modules.
