Designing Web pages for accessibility
From: Federal Computer Week - December 2, 2002 - page 36

To make it easier to design accessible Web sites, Jakob Nielsen of Nielsen
Norman Group and UsableNet have created a new version of UsableNet's Web
designing LIFT software. The software is an extension to Macromedia Inc.'s
Dreamweaver.  

The new software incorporates accessibility into Web page design so that as
designers are creating pages, the software reminds them of accessibility
rules, alerts them to accessibility mistakes and offers suggestions for
making corrections.  

The software also makes it possible to automatically correct accessibility
errors that may have been repeated, such as improper coding in a table or
chart, Nielsen said.
