While at Bay Area Drupal Camp, web developer and accessibility advocate William Lawrence sits down to talk about ensuring all people can use your website.
With Raincity Radio host Dave O, William discusses assistive browsing devices, SEO benefits of semantic code, Section 508 compliance for accessibility to public resources, plus applying business best practices and tips galore. Plus some chatter about William's time in Croatia as the UC football game crowd parties on by.
