Comparison of Web Accessibility

May 2, 2008 – 8:59 am by Dani Iswara

This is only a comparison of web accessibility on some websites using online validators. I chose 4 sample websites (subjective). They came from first and second search result pages based on keyword web accessibility.

The key of accessibility is universal design = universal access.

The online tools:

WAVE
Cynthia Says (WAI / WCAG and Section 508)
ATRC Web Accessibility Checker

We can add accessibility tools on web developer.

Table 1. Comparison of Web Accessibility
Sites	WAVE	Cynthia Says (WCAG)	Cynthia Says (Section 508)	ATRC
W3.org	no error	failed	passed	conditional pass WCAG 2.0 L2
WAI	no error	failed	passed	fail WCAG 2.0 L2
UniSA	1 error	failed	passed	conditional pass WCAG 2.0 L2
UCLA ATS	no error	failed	passed	fail WCAG 2.0 L2

My short summary:

Something wrong with Cynthia Says (WCAG validator)[?]; updated May 17, 2008: I guess it’s fixed now..or I was wrong..
University should have a commitment for this.
Web accessibility needs human evaluation.
