摘要: A majority of Web based information, facilities and services is unnecessarily inaccessible to people with certain disabilities, largely due a lack awareness accessibility issues on the part developers. This paper argues that currently available evaluation methods are unsatisfactory in scope presentation their results. Consequently, there need for meta- method which utilises strengths current methods, but also bridges weaknesses. The discusses comprehensive, yet usable methodology evaluating web sites accessibility. Using this methodology, semi- automatic tool proposed, will guide evaluators through auditing process produce set tailored recommendations making subject site accessible.
