Abstract

Information and communication technology (ICT) and World Wide Web (WWW) are increasingly being used in daily life and becoming important in community, business, personal performance, and improvement of livelihood. people with disabilities (PWDs) can easily perform many tasks using WWW which might be difficult or impossible for them. However, many websites applications such as e-learning, e-commerce, and e-government are not specifically designed keeping in view PWD users. Through the web accessibility guidelines, web developers can build a web program accessible to PWDs. In this paper, we have investigated the issues related to website design that make it unavailable for PWDs. Keeping in view these issues, we have built a framework to make the web easier for PWDs. In addition, these issues are assessed using the GTmetrix, Netcraft, and WAVE accessibility tools and the results are generated using Google Analytics. Based on these results, we have proposed a simplified web version to improve website access for people with disabilities. The proposed prototype is also implemented on a website called Easywebcare by incorporating our recommendations for resolving the investigated issues. Analytics shows that the proposed type surpasses all existing activities in improving website accessibility for people with disabilities.

Highlights

  • The word “simplification” in web design refers to removing all unnecessary components from a website

  • Customizable request founded on multimodal communiqué to sustain independent living of persons with learning disabilities in singular studios is fixed with demotic devices

  • The success of these new technologies requires an understanding of the barriers that prevent the use of modern technologies, including people with mental and cognitive disabilities in the design process, as well as the technologies that enable the transition of the company from the market

Summary

Introduction

The word “simplification” in web design refers to removing all unnecessary components from a website. Building websites and software that are open to people with developmental disabilities impacts every area of design and implementation. Through consistency and uniformity, simplicity enhances the legibility of the website design. This will ensure that consumers are focused on the areas where the company needs them to be. The aim of WCAG 2.0 is to promote accessibility to people with disabilities, to help access, retrieve, translate, and run the knowledge, information, and media shown on web pages following the four web content principles [14]. A total of three priority levels are identified, and there are numbers of checkpoints for each that need to reach the corresponding level of agreement [15]
