I've started taking a look at our website from the perspective of
accessibility.
I appreciate this, Rob. Great start, now that the product is
implementing more accessibility interfaces and tools.
Since the website is mainly human-authored HTML, with
many authors over several years, we'll need to check individual pages
for problems. I was going to focus on the top 50 or so pages, which
account for the vast majority of website visits.
I found a number of scanning tools, both web-based and standalone,
that looked good. However, there was a confusing (to me) number of
authorities for accessibility standards. For example, one tool (Total
Validator) offered to check against the following 6 guidelines:
US Section 508
WCAG v1 A
WCAG v1 AA
WCAG 2.0 A
WCAG 2.0 AA
WCAG 2.0 AAA
Does anyone have a good sense for which one is the most
useful/appropriate for our website?
Given that the website, to my knowledge, does not have much in the way
of multimedia (Flash animations, etc) or dynamic content, US Section 508
is going to be our best bet. The other tools that we use (MWiki and
CWiki) already implement accessibility to at least these standards by
default. TK.
