Abstract
Web Accessibility, a topic of universal connotation, emerges as an aspect that cannot be postponed due to the digitalization increased by the social, preventive and compulsory isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Web Accessibility can be approached from different angles, be they engineering-technological aspects or social and professional issues. The article presents a process focused on automatic validation. The study is performed on the home pages of a sample of 13 sites built to solve specific problematic situations. The analysis of the results determined that the limitation to understand is the most frequent factor, followed by the limitation of the upper limbs, total limitation to see, severe limitation to see and limitations derived from age. The findings indicate the need to advance in these studies, aimed at raising awareness and reducing the barriers to access to information in order to ensure an inclusive knowledge society.
