I have checked through the forums and "accessibility" is a subject not raised for some years now.
We are adopting CNS Builder as our default CMS tool for all future clients. We have been asked to become the design partner for a small company who are very successful in the UK government and public sector markets. As I am sure you are aware there is considerable importance placed upon web accessibility.

Could you kindly comment on whether such standards have been included in CMS Builder or how we produce an answer to the companies question.

My sincere thanks

Geoff

Is there any specific accessibility requirements you were thinking of? And do you know what standards you need to meet (WCA1 or WCA2) and what level of conformance? Does CMS Builder need to be accessible or just the websites it produces?

Here's the standards documents for anyone reading...
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/

Because CMS Builder is so open ended you can create just about any kind of output you want. So creating accessible websites shouldn't be a problem at all.

If you find there's something you can't do that you need to, just let us know and we'll do our best to assist.

Hope that helps!
