[NABS-L] Accessible Domain platforms

Fri Sep 21 14:21:09 UTC 2018

I agree with everything that's been said here. I don't have experience with other platforms, but wordpress is definitely accessible. I've been using it for my website for five years with no problems. 

I will note that I personally prefer to use the wp-admin editor over the more streamlined version on wordpress.com, but I don't know if that's inaccessible or if I just couldn't figure it out so I went back to what I know. 
You may want some sited assistance picking out a theme for your site in the beginning, as the descriptions don't give you a sense of what the theme visually looks like. The descriptions will tell you how many widgets and menus you can have and where they're positioned on the page, but it's nice to have someone describe what it looks like.

Hope that's helpful. Feel free to message me off-list if you have questions or anything.

I also use WordPress to run my website called the Disability Awareness and More Blog.
