Web Accessibility Evaluation

There are many tools and services available on the Internet to help web designers assess their code for accessibility.  The preferred tool for this course is the WAVE tool, available at http://wave.webaim.org/ Links to an external site..  The WAVE tool, like all other tools used to help evaluate a website for accessibility, is a guide to help web developers in making their content accessible.  Only a thorough check by a knowledgable individual can ensure compliance with the WCAG 2.0 Guidelines, but tools like WAVE are a good starting point.  Visit the WAVE tool homepage, and enter the URL of a website you are familiar with.  You will be presented with a report that contains icons and identifies any issues or accessibility features on the page you submit.  Look over the report and investigate a few of the findings.  Discuss your findings on the page you upload in the WAVE Evaluation Forum.
