Choose accessible tools

Authoring tools play a critical role in ensuring web accessibility.

These tools, however good, do not decrease the need for thorough user testing. They can assist web developers in creating accessible websites by:

• providing prompts and alerts when inaccessible codes are used
• checking and repairing inaccessible code
• providing help files and automated tools.

It is therefore important when developing websites to choose authoring tools that facilitate the production of accessible web content.
