WAI: Strategies, guidelines, and resources to make the Web accessible to people with disabilities
Navigation: W3C Home > WAI Home > WAI-AGE Project > Needs for Older Users > Cross references
The table below is an attempt to see to what extent the respective authors of these sets of ‘senior friendly’ recommendations were considering WCAG 1.0 as many of their recommendation parallel WCAG, and also to see to what extent hey had built on the work of previous authors.
These seven sets of recommendations or checklists have been analysed as they provided broad, and often extensive, recommendations for making Web sites ‘senior friendly’. As discussed in the literature review, they are either based on extensive research, considerable user observation, or both. Many other investigations have been reported in the literature review, however most of them either reported difficulties experienced by older users, or investigated and made recommendations for specific narrow aspects of web design/development issues, or addressed specific impairments experienced by older users.
