“…Keysers et al [31] introduced a proxy-based solution that automatically adds alt tags based on analysis of image contents. Jasselette et al [32] developed a tool, which allows the repair of HTML source code of a page with user interaction. Their solution is not fully automatic, though the tool can repair every problem that was detected during the evaluation process.…”

New methods of identifying and fixing accessibility issues on websites are presented in this article. The websites taken into consideration by the research are created with content management systems (like WordPress or Joomla!). Our main goal was to develop different methods to improve accessibility that may be used by various user groups (website creators, operators, content editors). Some of our methods are easy to use, some need more proficiency. The three methods we have developed (CSS/SCSS class override, MVC-based extension override, HTML output override) are described in detail. The use of an already existing method (Data entry checking) is also introduced, as well as some development options of this method. Each method is introduced in general, furthermore an example of their usage is also presented. Using the proposed methods, websites can fulfil the recommendations of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) in order to make the content of the websites more accessible.

“…TFWWG perform their evaluation using a guideline database, automatically or semi-automatically, after reading source codes or descriptions of user interface (knowledgebased tools). Some representative tools should be mentioned: the guidelines management system proposed by Parush (Parush, 2000), SYNOP (Kolski and Millot, 1991), Sherlock (Grammenos et al, 2000), WebTango (Ivory and Hearst, 2002), DESTINE (Beirekdar, 2004;Jasselette et al, 2006), AWebHHT (Rukshan and Baravalle, 2011), ErgoCoIn (Morandini et al, 2011), EBC (Charfi et al, 2011) Below is a brief presentation of some representative tools; interested readers can find details on these tools in relevant references.…”

“…Three approaches, WebTango (Ivory and Hearst, 2002), AWebHHT (Rukshan and Baravalle, 2011) and DESTINE (Beirekdar, 2004;Jasselette et al, 2006) aim at evaluating web page UI usability (that relate to multiple aspects of Web pages, such as use of color, text on a page, links, fonts and images, etc.). However, each approach has its own way of representing guidelines.…”

In general, users who access Web sites do not necessarily have the same abilities in terms of cognitive, sensory and physical conditions. An accessible Web site is one whose content can be used by as many users as possible; and to improve accessibility, the use of evaluation tools has been incorporated among other resources. However, from the point of view of the end user, the evaluation obtained by most of these tools does not fit to the individual needs and abilities of the users. On the other hand, there is a greater understanding of the need to automate the support to reach higher levels of accessibility. Promoting this type of support on both the developer and the end-user sides is a complex procedure that can be done by incorporating intelligent features, such as the collaborative participation of intelligent agents. In this paper, we introduce a multi-agent system based on visually impaired user’s profiles to improve Web Accessibility assessment. The proposal is validated through a proof of concept, by contrasting results against 10 wide-known assessment tools. Our results show that evaluations are more focused, and therefore, unnecessary assessments are avoided improving efficiency.
