Abstract

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines represent an opportunity to provide concrete, structured guidance for designers and developers regarding how to build accessible web pages. However, there is currently a lack of evidence regarding which techniques contained within WCAG 2.0 produce accessible websites. This paper presents a methodology for evaluating implementation techniques with remote users and demonstrates its use in evaluation techniques for one Success Criterion of WCAG 2.0.
