Propuesta de una arquitectura software para el desarrollo de sitios web accesibles

Abstract

In recent years, resource consumption on the web has increased greatly. However, poor accessibility practices in web sites limit many users to access their information. For this reason, in this research a software architecture for the development of accessible web sites is carried out. In the results, patterns of accessibility practices in JavaScript working environments are analyzed, abstracted and aligned according to WCAG guidelines. Then the Software architecture is proposed considering the findings from design, content generation, implementation and testing in an iterative way. This saves time and resources by considering accessibility from the beginning of the development of a website and not its verification at the end as a checklist. For the validation of the architecture, a web site was developed and the accessibility was corroborated by making the evaluation with different automatic web accessibility evaluation tools. In conclusion, the proposed software architecture allows the implementation of web accessibility from the beginning of the development of a website.
