Developing sites with web frameworks helps in accessibility. Web frameworks like Symfony makes it so much easier to develop ‘good’ websites. It provides features like human/search engine friendly URLs, internationalization, and layout management for various devices.

It doesn’t cost a lot to create an accessible site — not really, if you think that the price you pay in time, money and effort will pay off in the near future.

This is indeed very true. As search engine technology advances, there’re solid reasons to believe that search engines like Google will track user’s behavior on one site which then decide the quality and ranking of the website.

It simply means website with better accessibility gets higher ranking; thus better ROI in future.

Very good point, Lexli. Right now, our corporate site is being redesigned with all these considerings in mind and the price is more than fair. Not as cheap as you mention and not as fast either. Our designers made an excellent offer and I am already sure that the new site will surpass all expectations.

Wow, way to be comprehensive.

The one thing you could add to accessibility is how fast it is. They’re very cheap like you said, but chances are you can find a very good designer to put something together in a day or two for $500 or so thanks to social network popularity increasing. It used to be that you either had to spend way too much for a good site by a professional or try to build one yourself and it turns out looking like a D-rated site.

Good post!

Hello! In fact accessibility important. I agree that the WAI guidlines give us a good orientation.

Hi!
Great post, especially because I never paid too much attention to accessibility. Thanks for explaining it to some of us, who don’t really understand everything related to websites etc.
Usability is really not accessibility! Thank you, I will definitely check your blog again!

Without accessability, what would you have? Nothing. Thanks for your very helpful blog. Keep up the great work. I learn something every time I stop by.

Quite interesting and informative article. I never paid much attention to accessibility. I keep thinking if I have a hot pc and connection than everyone must….That was a very hasty conclusion.

I was just debating this with a client. He was wanting to build a site that was extremely heavy on large videos. Adobe is getting the technology down, but many people do not have the pcs and isp speeds necessary to handle them yet. His site would not have been accessible to as many people as he thought it would have.
