We are currently working on a project for an agency of the State of Illinois. This is the first project where the client specifically required that the site be accessible to people with disabilities. In looking at the State of Illinois requirements for accessibility, I realized that it’s not much more than building an XHTML compliant web site. Search engines love XHTML compliant web sites. Then I realized that search engines robots are the most disabled visitors to your web site. They cannot see or hear. Just like the sight disabled, they can only follow the content as it is structured on each page throughout the site as browsed with a screen reader. Just another benefit to following web standards in web development.
