Abstract

Accessibility evaluation of websites is normally done before its deployment, but there is a lack of accessibility maintenance after website evolution. This chapter hypothesizes that adopting a continuous website accessibility validation process could facilitate accessibility maintenance after each evolution. To this end, the authors adapted an accessibility evaluation tool to send periodical reports of accessibility faults to website managers. Weekly accessibility reports were sent to the website's managers and the number of accessibility faults was monitored. Besides, these managers answered questions about their awareness of the regulation and the faults found on their websites. The results suggested a notable lack of interest in regulatory compliance and a strong lack of sensitivity to disabled people's limitations.
