Re: [WSG] Accessibility and Joomla
I believe that with the new version (1.5) it is much easier to make sites accessible. And thanks William for your suggestion of DW extensions. I did a search and found one that looks really good. It's expensive ($US100) but has great reviews on the Joomla extensions site, and includes a 1 hour training video. And it's all about the Joomla 'template' which is where all the formatting/CSS is organised. My work will hopefully buy this for me (grin) We shall see ... :) On 23/5/08 12:19 PM, dwain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 5/22/08, Susie Gardner-Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm just starting to (try to!) learn Joomla as I'm going to have to use it on a few upcoming sites.

[WSG] Accessibility and Joomla
I¹m just starting to (try to!) learn Joomla as I¹m going to have to use it on a few upcoming sites. Having looked at the html output as I work through some of the tutorials, I¹m wondering how accessible sites created in Joomla are, and if anyone has any experience/knowledge of good sites to help in this area ... ? Obviously I¹m going to be doing my own stylesheets and taking it out of table layout. At the moment I¹m wondering if it¹d be easier to develop the site structure/CSS in Dreamweaver and then move it into Joomla.

Re: [WSG] Accessibility and Joomla
Depending which version of Dreamweaver you have, There was a plug-in for Dreamweaver that assisted you in setting up Joomla templates and made sure all the keyword section where added to interface with the CMS.
