Is this you or a web designer that you know?  Please take the time to read carefully through these questions as they may help you understand a little more about web content and its accessibility – and, a little bit more about yourself as someone who creates web content.

• Are you a web developer?
• Are you a web designer?
• Do you produce “web-based” content?
• Have you heard about web site accessibility?
• Have you visited your web sites content via a cell phone?
• Have you implemented web accessibility considerations into your web site?
• Have any users/visitors commented about accessing your web site?
• Do you have and adhere to accessibility standards produced by your company or organization?
• Have you implemented Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – WCAG 2.0 into your web design?
• Have you heard about the Americans with Disabilities Act and how it could relate to you?
• Have you heard of Section 508, if you produce governmental web sites?
• Do you know that “online” accessibility checkers cannot check for all that needs to be done to make your site accessible?
• Maybe the most important question – do you care about web content accessibility?

Whether you answered yes or now to the above questions, these topics will be of interest to you as you work toward making your web presence more accessible and ultimately usable for all your visitors.  Given the increasing numbers of “seniors”, it is likely that more and more of your online visitors will need to have some alternative method for accessing your content.  And, one of these days, you or a loved one will need reasonable accommodations to access electronic information due to aging or disability.

If you think you have the bases covered with regard to your web site’s accessibility, you are good to go and your visitors will be happy that you spent a little extra time to do things the right way.

Did you notice that I said, “a little extra time”?  That’s right, making a web site accessible is not all that difficult, especially if you start the process off with accessibility in mind.  And, many retro-fits are sometimes not all that challenging when it comes to making accessibility related changes.

As a web site designer, content producer and a potential web developer – you may need the assistance from someone who specializes in web content accessibility.  Let me tell you, How I Work.
