Web accessibility standards increase your audience reach, regardless if you are a Drupal developer or a Drupal user. They ensure interoperability with mobile devices, support for internationalization, and much more. This presentation introduces relevant web standards from W3C and the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), and explains how they can help you improve the quality of your CMS and the websites created with an accessible CMS.
