Uma avaliação de acessibilidade do site de um laboratório de pesquisa na perspectiva de pessoas com deficiência visual

Abstract

Accessibility is a topic that has been widely discussed in today’s society. In the field of technology, the theme is very present, highlighting the growing need for access to the web to search for information. In this way, taking into account the differences between people, which include disabilities, web accessibility becomes very important so that these people can access information, regardless of their physical or mental limitations. Thinking about the inclusion of visually impaired people, this work aims to carry out an accessibility assessment on the LSBD website. For this, an automatic and a manual evaluation was performed on six pages of the site, following the recommendations of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). The results showed that all the evaluated pages do not comply with the WCAG, being necessary to undergo a reformulation so that people with visual impairments can have access to the contents presented on the site.
