WEB ACCESSIBILITY INITIATIVE
Daniel Dardailler
TELEMATICS APPLICATIONS PROGRAMME (DISABLED & ELDERLY SECTOR)
From October 1998 to June 1999 some letters have been sent to webmasters of interesting web sites to inform them about the accessibility problems encountered on their web sites. Some design improvements were suggested and it was referred to the BrailleNet white paper and the WAI web site so that then can check the accessibility of their site and understand what could be changed to improve this accessibility. The following table shows the results of the letter actions.

In summary we can say that for many of these sites the accessibility is not a priority but the commercial benefits. Nevertheless we had some good results with some of them, which lead to a co-operation between Braillenet/INSERM and their webmasters to improve the site accessibility.
