چکیده
Many websites are still not fully accessible for handicapped people. We argue in this paper that one reason for inaccessible websites is the lack of awareness and expertise of the people that play a major role in creating a website: web designers. To make designing accessible websites easier, we collect requirements from web designers and prototype interactive accessibility guidelines that are optimized for the needs of web designers.
