About this title

Synopsis

Creating accessible websites is essential. If you are building websites for government-funded organizations, then you may be obliged by law to create websites usable by people with a range of disabilities. If you're building sites for a business or any other kind of organization, building accessible sites will ensure that no part of your audience is excluded from reading your content. Joomla! provides all the facilities you need to make a web site accessible to users with a variety of disabilities. Not only can it produce accessible web sites, but with a few tweaks users of assistive technologies can work with the administration system to add, edit, and manage content. This book looks at what accessibility is and the various reasons, such as legislative or legal, as to why you really need to understand accessibility and then create websites that can be used by everyone.

Product Description

This book provides a short, practical guide to ensure that your Joomla! web site is accessible and usable by the widest audience. This book is a guide to any Joomla! user who wants to make their sites more accessible and the author does assume that you have a basic working knowledge of Joomla!. You don't need to know anything about accessibility -- the author tells you all that you need to know to make your Joomla! sites accessible to the widest audience. While some design skills and technical knowledge of HTML, CSS and PHP will be very useful you will still benefit from reading this book if you wish to understand more about assistive technology and the needs of people with disabilities. The book is distilled from years of hands on experience that the author has as a web developer and also working with people with disabilities.
