NEW!!! Content
Management Systems (CMS) and
WCAG 2.0: WCAG 2.0 Conformance
for Users with Disabilities
Accessibility for people with
disabilities is more important now than ever
before. The last decade has shown how
information technology (particularly the
Internet) opens up new worlds for an
ever-increasing number of people with
disabilities. At the same time, Web
accessibility standards have also evolved to
keep pace. Version 2.0 of the Web Accessibility
Content Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) – the most
important and influential Web accessibility
standard worldwide— provides a better
accessibility experience for users with
disabilities. But what does "conformance" to
WCAG 2.0 mean for large and complex Web systems
and how can organizations measure their success
for huge sites against this benchmark?

The Web Accessibility
Handbook, A guide to best
practices for achieving Web
accessibility
Throughout 2008,
Microsoft and HiSoftware
partnered to hold a series of
European Dialogues on Practical
Strategies for an Accessible
Web. The Dialogues focused on
understanding the challenges of
Web accessibility and sharing
best practices to address those
challenges. Participants
included a wide range of
individuals with practical,
theoretical and/or personal
experience in the Web
accessibility space, including members of public sector and
private sector organizations,
technology vendors and NGOs. The
goal throughout these dialogues
was to not only understand the
challenges for organization that
looked to achieve Web
accessibility but to closely
examine some of the solutions
and strategies that are already
being employed by organizations
to accomplish their goals. As a
result of the Dialogues a “How
To” guide, the Web Accessibility
Handbook, was created.

Analysis of Website
Accessibility After National
Federation of the Blind v.
Target. In 2008, the U.S.
District Court for the Northern
District of California sent a
clear signal that companies had
to ensure that their websites
were accessible to people with
disabilities. In 2006, the
National Federation of the Blind
sued the Target Corporation for
the alleged inaccessibility of
its website. This litigation
applied the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA)—and state
laws expanding the ADA—to a
retailer’s website and quickly
became a focal point for
advocates and industry alike. As
California represents a huge
opportunity for almost every
company doing business over the
Internet, California’s Unruh Act
and Disabled Persons Act provide
a strong reason for all
companies to make their websites
accessible.

Section 504:

Accessibility within SLG / EDU
Markets

Section 504: Ramifications on IT
Accessibility within SLG / EDU
Markets. For the last
ten years, we have increasingly
focused on how people with
disabilities access and use the
amazing opportunities that
information technology—and
particularly the Internet—offers
us. Much of this interest
stemmed from Congress’s 1998
amendments to Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act. However,
Section 508 is only one part of
the overall accessibility model
of the Rehabilitation Act and
the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA). This white paper
compares Section 508 with
Section 504 and the ADA.

How emulating different web
browsers while verifying
accessibility gives better and
in many cases more complete
results. this is specifically
most relevant to dynamic sites
