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:


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.

    [...] We can make CommentLuv plugin get Conditional Pass WCAG 2.0 L2 (level 2 or AA level) status by ATRC web accessibility checker. Actually, web or blog using original code plugin will pass W3C markup validation, WAVE (wave.webaim.org) and Section 508 (cynthiasays.com). WAI test (cynthiasays.com) didn’t valid anymore, I guess. See Comparison of Web Accessibility. [...]
