Accessible Site-Building in Drupal
What should you do when your client or boss tells you to make your Drupal website accessible? This session will give you the important tools to implement accessibility of your site — the theme, public content, and authenticated user interface. We will cover every stage of a project including planning for accessibility, selecting modules, theming, and testing.
We’ll provide lots of tools and resources for testing and ensuring accessibility. There are some free themes that are more accessible than others and we’ll tell you which. We will cover the state of accessibility in Drupal 7 and what levels of accessibility you can reasonably expect from Drupal core and contrib modules. We’ll take lots of questions and look at real world examples.
The presenter, Brandon Bowersox from OJC Technologies, has built many accessible websites in Drupal, including the Iowa Department for the Blind website, and has contributed numerous accessibility enhancements that have been accepted into Drupal 7 core.
