Drupal?

"Drupal is Section 508 and WCAG Priority 1, 2, 3 compliant.

Strict coding standards have been used to keep Drupal's data, logic
and presentation separate from each other. This means that the mark-up
of all of Drupal's output is completely controlled by the
application's presentation layer, known as the 'theme'.

The accessibility compliance of a Drupal powered site depends on which
theme is being used."
