Does anyone have any suggestions on an accessible CMS please? I've spent some time researching this, particularly open source CMSs, but can't seem to find a definitive solution. I've seen a review of some of the leading CMS systems from an accessibility perspective that was dated 2006 but nothing since then. There are 2 sides to this question, firstly how accessible the platform is to set up and manage (user permissions, available modules, page creation and maintenance and module or widget maintenance etc), and how accessible is the output to people using the site. >From what I've seen, most of the leading open source CMSs (Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, DotNetNuke) seem to provide a mechanism for "skinning" a site and I have come across some "themes" that say they are accessible, although haven't found any examples to verify these claims. But these typically only affect the generated site, rather than the site administration interface. Obviously how accessible a module or widget might be is likely to depend on how much consideration the developers of the module or widget gave to accessibility, but I would be very interested if anyone has any experience or recommendations for an accessible CMS or CMS/Skin/Theme combination.
