Abstract

This session demonstrates how a content management system (CMS) can facilitate the creation of fully accessible websites for people with disabilities. Throughout this lecture, the participants will access an in-depth view of the technical components and solutions adopted by Netic Hypermedia Inc for the development of the content management system Edimaster Plus™ which supports the highest Web Accessibility standards. The speakers will demonstrate navigation, dynamic content management and search function tools adapted to different users as well as a wide range of other tools offering advanced functions of text, image, forms, and data table editing. The demonstration will be conducted using assistive technology such as screen reader and screen magnifier software.
