Abstract

The technological advances resulting from the Digital Revolution have enabled the growth of virtual spaces, of the most varied types and for various purposes, facilitating access to information, as well as communication between people. However, a large number of people cannot enjoy these benefits because they face difficulties related to accessibility in these environments. In this scenario, the objective of this work is to present a conceptual framework, which contain a set of Web accessibility guidelines to allow a greater number of people to take advantage of the resources and facilities provided by virtual environments, regardless of their physical or functional limitations. In addition, it should be emphasized that the present research is not intended the presentation of a rigid guide or a step by step, but rather a suggested model, composed of recommendations that represent a compilation of different surveys and that intends to offer a direction to developers in creating Web environments with better accessibility.
