I use Dreamweaver and think it is a superb package for
website creation and this feature makes it even better -

Products Check Web Content for Federal Compliance

Macromedia and UsableNet have announced the availability of an extension
for Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 and Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 that checks Web
content for compliance with federal accessibility guidelines. The extension
is available as part of the new Macromedia Accessibility Starter Kit, a
tool that helps developers ensure that their existing and future Web
content is both usable and accessible to people with disabilities. The free
kit is available on the new Macromedia Government Resource Center site in
response to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act that requires all federal
Web sites to make their Internet and Intranet content and programs
accessible.
The Section 508 Accessibility Suite for Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 and
UltraDev 4, created by UsableNet, allows Web sites to be checked for
accessibility in the same way that a document is spell-checked. The
extension can also connect users to an additional online service from
UsableNet that allows test to be automatically scheduled on live Web sites.
For more information, visit the Macromedia Government Resource Center at
