Abstract


The article addresses the problem of accessibility of dynamic web content that is created when developing web pages and services. It discusses basic issues about the accessibility of digital objects and web page content. The aim of the article is to present a method for designing accessibility in the creation of dynamic web content in websites of Paisii Hilendarski Plovdiv University. The developed method is presented through the life cycle of its model, which is applied in parallel with the implementation of a software process in the renewal of the web infrastructure of the university. The method is built on standards, principles, guidelines, accessibility criteria, and techniques for creating and validating web content of the Web Accessibility Initiative. The main standards to which the method adheres are the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and the Technical Specifications for Accessible Rich Internet Applications. It has been tested in the design and implementation of part of the web content of the web infrastructure of the university created after 2020, which is accessible through the main domain https://uni-plovdiv.bg and many of its sub-domains.
