Just saw an article on Winn-Dixie losing court battle dealing with their website and lack of being fully accessible to the disabled. Conclusion to the case was websites will need to conform to WCAG 2.0 standards. Our company operates 3 websites, all on the Shopify platform. I have been given the task to find out if we are compliant. &nbsp;I downloaded the NVDA screen reader and all three sites were compatible with that, as well as a Mac screen reader. My question...anyone dealing with this and what tips or advice can you supply to assist in the matter ? &nbsp;Is there an official &quot;checklist&quot; ? &nbsp;Thanks in advance, I am sure we will be hearing more about requirements and potential lawsuits soon enough.

Websites and WCAG 2.0 Conformity

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
