Presents an Accessibility Framework merging WCAG with Switzerland’s HERMES project methodology, addressing barriers in digital public services for visually impaired citizens, including enforcement, skill gaps, and fragmented policies.
Defines accessibility and inclusivity as core usability mindsets rather than checklists. Covers how inclusive design enhances usability, welcoming users across abilities, backgrounds, and contexts. Useful for public‑sector designers aligning digital inclusion goals with usability.
Creates a taxonomy of 55 types of web accessibility issues across perceivability, operability, understandability, robustness. Evaluates detection and auto‑repair tools: detection tools cover just 56% of issue types; repair tools only 23%. Highlights gaps and tool limitations.
Analyzes 1,000,000 of the most influential homepages globally. Reports an average of 51 distinct accessibility errors per page, a 10 % decrease from 2024, yet underscores ongoing usability impacts from unresolved WCAG-level defects.
Demonstrates a new real‑time DOM‑based system using language models to automatically correct accessibility violations. Achieves over 51% reduction in detected WCAG issues. Shows promise for LLM‑based automated fixes.
Analyses over 430,000 page elements (100K ads) and shows that third‑party ads introduce significant accessibility violations (67% of sites affected). Even compliant ads often contain misleading alt text or privacy-invasive events. Suggests design guidelines for developers and ad platforms.
Proposes a multidimensional evaluation framework for complex web platforms. Finds that many automated tools struggle with nuanced accessibility issues in complex environments, underscoring need for richer metrics and tools.
A review that maps accessibility barriers across disabilities (visual, cognitive, motor). Highlights systemic design gaps in e‑systems and their varied impact, advocating inclusive design strategies.
Open‑access paper explaining how adherence to accessibility standards (e.g. WCAG) improves overall usability for all users, not just users with disabilities. Traces evolution of accessibility guidelines and their impact on UX.
Evaluates accessibility variance across education board websites handling high‑stakes exams. Underscores inconsistencies in WCAG compliance and their potential impact on users during critical interactions.
