Abstract
Despite the importance of web accessibility in
recent years, websites remain partially or completely inaccessible
to certain sectors of the population. This is due to several
reasons, including web developers’ little or no experience in
accessibility and the lack of accurate information about the best
ways to quickly and easily identify accessibility problems using
different Accessibility Evaluation Methods (AEMs). This paper
surveys accessibility literature and presents a general overview of
the primary challenges of accessibility barriers on websites. In
this sense, we critically investigate main challenges forms related
to accessibility including standards and guidelines (WCAG 2.0),
during website’s design and development and during evaluation.
Finally, a set of recommendations such as enforcing accessibility
legislations are presented to overcome some challenges.
