Abstract:

Richard Banks and Norman Coombs suggest that the World Wide Web can be viewed in two ways: (1) as a tool connecting individuals and information or (2) as a fly trap for users with disabilities when inadequately designed. The article illustrates both kinds of Web pages and provides beginning guidelines for applying universal design principles to Web page development. It also provides links to relevant sources of information, including EASI (Equal Access to Software and Information) and the Web Accessibility Initiative.
