Joomla and WCAG 2.0

Question

I need to implement some WCAG 2.0 guidelines into a Joomla webpage. I've read a lot about this guidelines on W3C, but the problem is that I really don't know where to start. Please help!

Answer 1

I'd suggest starting by looking at Drupal's example - http://drupal.org/about/accessibility

Probably most interesting would be the issue queue: http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?issue_tags=accessibility

It's a big challenge. Best to work with others in the Joomla community as there are no quick fixes.

Answer 2

Do not get lost in the Ambiguous 780 pages from W3C WCAG, i can not shake the feeling that if one needs that many pages to implement something in HTML, your doing it wrong (do you know a 780page doc for HTML?), a good title therefor IMO would be; "how-to make web-accessibility not accessible, by W3C".

I would recommend the following article: https://patstapestry.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/tips-and-tricks-for-website-accessibility-testing-with-the-screen-reader-jaws/

following her guidelines you can try tackle the specific problems your pages may have, one-by-one
