Izzivi pristopov k izboljševanju spletne dostopnosti / Challenges of approaches to improving web accessibility

Abstract

The concept of web accessibility provides the basis for ensuring accessibility of websites and mobile apps for all users, primarily for persons with a disability. The Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act from 2018 represents a regulation of minimal harmonization and it summarizes the EU directive. Although the act was adopted several years ago, the situation in Slovenia is still relatively undeveloped. In Slovenia, there is relatively little good practice, and solutions that are not entirely appropriate appear. Therefore, the article summarizes definitions and challenges of the approaches to web accessibility enhancement. It is stressed that the awareness level must be raised and a comprehensive approach to web accessibility is required. The dilemmas of using web accessibility analysis tools and problems concerning plug-ins are presented.
