Visual Impairments

• Screen Readers read web pages to users• Screen Readers are used on mobile devices• Web page semantics are key• Web 2.0 poses some challenges• Liferay content editing is fully accessible


Not All Pages are Created Equally

• Screen Readers need help identifying elements• Use the right semantics - HTML5 helps• Dynamically updated content can’t be missed• Liferay’s Theming framework provides you with full control of

implementing accessibility across pages


Final Thoughts

• Mobile is not an island• Treat mobile as a channel, not a marketing tactic• Liferay’s features, tools and architecture take mobile beyond

the desktop• Don’t just test how pages render, test how they read
