Re: Basic Website Recommendation?

My advice would be to skip using any of the sites you mention and instead
use either one of the many static site generators (SSG's) that are available
or WordPress. In my case, I would probably use an SSG like 11ty and host it
on github pages. Part of the reason I would use that myself is that with an
SSG, I would just write all the articles using markdown which is a format
that is quite accessible for someone using a screen reader.

However, I definitely would wait and see if others have advice to offer and
not base your decision on just my advice.

Thanks,
Tim

Subject: [WebAIM] Basic Website Recommendation?

Dear List,

By reply on or off list, could you please suggest a website vendor such as
Wix, SquareSpace, Weebly, or other, that might be the easiest for a blind
person using a screen reader, (NVDA), to set up independently?
Is a blog just as advantageous and of course, considerably easier to manage?
This would be an author website with primarily information about activity
without a store feature. Primarily text-based if possible.

I could not find helpful info at the AFB website when attempting different
search words. Thanks!
