[Blindtlk] Drag and Drop /Wix

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

I never heard of that software, but I'm not very optomistic about the 
accessibility of its output because of the implication that people create 
these sites graphically.  You need to have people point you to sites that 
are using this software in the way it is planned to be used, and test it for 
yourself.  If you run into trouble, you might enlist some other screen 
reader users to confirm or refute your findings.

Anyone know if websites produced with DragonDrop/WIX free software are
screenreader compatible?  I am a part of a Non profit Interfaith  advocacy
group that is updating their  website and  wants to use this because it's
cost effective and  can be done by someone with no  prior computer design
experience.

I want to make sure our website is accessible since 1.  it's fair and 2.
part of our mission is to help those who have no voice gain their voice.  If
they can't access the website they  won't know we exist.  Some of the
current topics we are working on are treatment instead of Prison,
Transportation, Homelessness, Food Insecurity and Immigration.  There are
people out there in our area that would be able to share stories and help us
out that just so happen to be blind too.  I want to know  they are welcome.
It's an interesting group and I've learned leadership skills from it.

Thanks for any help you can give.
