[Blindtlk] Accessible Website Software?

[Mike Freeman]

Actuallly, while there is software that makes composing of web pages 
somewhat easier, at least for sighted persons, because one has sort of a 
WYSIWYG interface, it doesn't really obviate the necessity of learning 
several languages that are sort of like computer programming languages 
(which ones depends upon the operating system the web host server is 
running and what packages are installed). In other words, in addition to 
writing the page itself, possibly including forms and the like, one must 
write either a CGI or PHP script (or, for that matter, a WSH script if 
the host is Windows-based) so that you can tell the server what to do 
with data the user enters into forms. There is some template code to do 
some of this stuff but the more you know about how it works under the 
hood, the better off you are. In other words, there's a reason web page 
developers get paid big bucks!

Put another way, There Ain't No Such Thing AS A Free Lunch!
