Hi,
So I need to create a website to promote my work and act as a hub for projects. I know that there are a few website building tools out there such as square space and wicks, however I was wondering if any of you have had an experience with a more accessible one using VoiceOver? From my understanding there is quite a lot of layout to do for the most part, selecting fonts and so on so it might be that this isn't really something that we can do on our own at all but I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
It will be an author website, if that makes any difference.
Thanks

re: accessible web platform using a Mac
I recommend WordPress, as it allows integration w/an author's social media channels when content is posted to the website.
Disclosure: I'm a hosting provider as well as a writer, & I host authors, some of whom routinely use Macs. WordPress is quite accessible, either via Safari or via the WordPress app.
Good luck, Oliver.
HTML Editor

Visual studio code insiders
Hello,
One of the best ones to use is visual studio code insiders version. This version is getting updated all the time and the accessibility is getting better all the time. In order to get a preview of the code you are writing you need to install an extension. I do not know the best one for this but you should be able to find one by searching on the web. One of the things that makes visual studio code good is something called emmet. This is a powerful code snippet tool. For example I can type ! and hit enter and I will have a complete html5 bare bones template. You can find lots of videos on using emmet in visual studio code on YouTube. There is also emacs with emacspeak. Once you get it running it works very well and has a lot of features you can add with different plugins.
