چکیده

The paper discusses recent web Accessibility Audits produced by the authors [8] – audits that have the dual aims of raising accessibility levels of the subject sites and the general awareness of accessible design principles. The presentation of the information has been shaped by the desire that it should be digestible by both technical and administrative/managerial audiences. It is hoped that the process will help to raise awareness of accessible web design issues and hence help to raise the general level of accessibility of web based information.
