Since the dawn of the Internet, the philosophy behind web content management has been that everyone should have the opportunity to read the content, regardless of special needs. This includes users with disabilities and needs like speech synthesis for playback of content, Braille (a code which enables blind persons to read and write), voice recognition, and pointers for utilizing the keyboard.
A set of standards has been developed to address these special needs. Enonic encourages you to use these standards so everyone can read any content on any website. Enonic CMS contains no restrictions as to the technical quality of the code delivered to the user’s web browser. This means we fully support standards such as Section 508 and WAI.
In addition to the obvious advantages for people with disabilities and special needs, there are also other benefits in using these standards. One example is that users with older equipment and dial-up modems will get significantly quicker access to the pages.
