Can I make accessible web pages using web authoring tools such as FrontPage and Dreamweaver?
Printable Version Educators utilize a wide variety of authoring tools to create web sites. In virtually every category of computer software, if content can be created, it can be saved or exported as HTML. Many web authors simply export the content of their word processing files or of files they’ve created using graphics applications. Unfortunately, much of this web content is inaccessible to users with disabilities. Generally, the best software tools for creating web pages are those that specifically fall under the product category web authoring tools, rather than tools for which website creation is a secondary function. Two of the more popular products in this category are Microsoft FrontPage™ and Adobe Dreamweaver™. Each of these products allows web authors to create accessible web pages. However, it is equally possible for web authors to create inaccessible web pages with these products. There are currently no web authoring tools that support accessible design techniques exclusively
