Abstract

How can you be sure that your website complies with the W3C guidelines. Research shows that many websites use the W3C Accessibility logo’s on their site. Research has also shown that most of the sites that use the logo’s do not comply with the guidelines at all. Because there is no control over the quality of the logo except by the public and the evaluation and interpretation of the checkpoints leave space for discussion, the Netherlands government together with stakeholder organisation and companies have set up a transparant evaluation scheme and a controlled conformance logo. This paper describes the project and the results of the feasability study.
