Accessibility isn’t strictly the responsibility of developers and designers. Arguably the most important, and often forgotten about, area that affects a website’s accessibility is the content itself. As the content on a site evolves, for example after a large redesign and rebuild project, the people in charge of maintaining that content have a huge responsibility to ensure the site remains accessible for all.

In this session, we’ll explore what that responsibility entails, what a content editor needs to know about ensuring their content is accessible, what tools Drupal provides to make this easier, some additional tools to help, and some additional resources. We’ll reinforce the knowledge with real-world examples, and have time for questions.

At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1) Identify Drupal modules that can help content editors create more accessible content
2) Solve the most common accessibility errors that are found in content across the web
3) Understand the importance of a Content Editor’s role in building accessible sites.
