This simple web accessibility self-evaluation tool has been designed to provide website developers with a simple and pragmatic approach to conducting an internal or self-evaluation. This tool is suitable for use with institutional websites, personal academic homepages and other information sites. However, this tool is not suitable on its own as a tool for the evaluation of e-learning or e-resource material.
This simple tool provides a step-by-step methodology to evaluate the accessibility of a website. The tool consists of an online support manual (to guide you through the process) and a simple report template in which to record your evaluation data as you go. At the end of the evaluation process you will have developed a comprehensive report on the accessibility of the website.
This tool has been designed to provide developers with a simple holistic overview of the accessibility of a website. The tool takes advantage of free online automatic evaluation tools, heuristic evaluation methods (where the reviewer is required to evaluate a site against a guideline or principle), and takes a methodical approach to identifying potential issues.
