LONDONO-ROJAS, Luis Felipe; TABARES-MORALES, Valentina; ROSECLER-BEZ, Marta  and  DUQUE-MENDEZ, Néstor Darío. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF GUIDES FOR ACCESSIBLE WEB DEVELOPMENT. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.1, pp.101-115. ISSN 0124-8170.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rcin.2683.

Currently, the websites do not meet minimum accessibility requirements, which prevents anyone, regardless of their conditions, from accessing the contents and services available through these sites. This problem is, partly because developers are not aware of existing accessibility criteria and guidelines or do not know how to implement them. As an alternative, this article presents an analysis of guideslines for approachable development, which assesses different criteria like the disabilities that are addressed, the level of technical knowledge required to understand the guides and the way the contents are presented. From this evaluation, a comparative table is generated, and the selection of the guides that can be most useful in the creation of accessible websites is made, which can serve as a support to the developers when deciding which guide to use.

Keywords : Accessibility; web accessibility; approachable development; accessibility guidelines.
