Is your site accessible to persons with sensory and physical disabilities? Upgrading your site to be in full compliance with the World Wide Web Consortium's Accessibility Guidelines will make your company information available to everyone, no matter what their disability. Also, it is a legal requirement that all government agencies and contractors have Web sites that are accessible.

In this hands-on course, you will master the site design and specific coding techniques necessary to make your site accessible to all. Students will learn about the W3C Guidelines in detail and master implementing them through a series of hands-on examples.

By the end of the class students will be able to:

  • Identify problems disabled persons may experience when navigating the Web
  • Pinpoint a site's compliance with each of the W3C Guidelines through the use of screen readers.
  • Better use new technologies such as XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets, Flash, PDF's and Dynamic HTML, that can often cause a site to become non-compliant
  • Quickly and efficiently upgrade a site to full compliance with W3C Guidelines including accessibility
