17. 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
© Intelliware Development Inc. 2012

18. 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

19. 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
