Design of a Web site with guidelines for accessibility

Abstract

The access of people with disabilities to the New Technologies of Information and Communication (NTIC) is crucial on many grounds. Society is evolving in a direction where these technologies are part of everyday life and a two-speed society is not acceptable. At the same time, such technologies offer a substantial help in the process of improving the way of life of people with disabilities. In Belgium, the welfare department of the Walloon Region has considered the question important enough to encourage practical implementations and research in that direction.
