As Jim Thatcher piotns out, accessibility needs to be included by the developer. A common misconception, however, is that this is time consuming and complicated.Separating content and layout (by using style sheets) and structuring html using headings is good practice and makes a big difference in accessibility. Adding (meaningful and concise) Alt tags is simple and if all of the above was done routinely by developers then a lot more of the web would be accessible.Many developers like to keep the html at arms length and use WYSIWYG editors that allow you to design a webpage graphically. These often have features that enable developers to build in accessibility but those features are underused, probably through lack of incentive or a belief that accessibility is complicated and hard to implement. DCMS could work with the leading software companies that produce the editors to produce guides on adding accessibility that are distributed at point-of-sale.Good accessibility in web pages is not complicated or time consuming but will improve the usability of the finished website.
