  • Hello:

    Overall, accessibility is not about the plugins you use, but rather the way in which the site is coded. So, though you might have some problems caused by a lack of accessibility in the third-party plugins you use, most accessibility problems stem from a site developer not adding alt text or keyboard-navigable elements on a page. Before coding the site, I would look at the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), provided by the W3 Consortium, as well as the resources provided at https://www.webaim.org. Once you are finished coding and are ready for the site to be tested, I would suggest consulting with a professional accessibility tester–preferably a blind one. Perhaps the best testers of this kind can be found at [modetarated] and [modetarated] As a blind screen reader user and accessibility tester, I could probably put you in touch with some of these people personally. Please email me at [modetarated] if you would like help with this.

    Hope this helps,

    Chris

    Hi Averta:

    We are currently working on a redesign of our Web site, which we plan to launch on July 1. So, if you do an update which improves accessibility, please let me know so we can take a look. Thank you again for your responsiveness!
