A platform to check website compliance with web accessibility standards

Accessibility to websites is still a challenge in many countries, including Brazil, despite the existence of eMAG, which is the Brazilian Digital Accessibility Model that provides guidelines for how government websites should ensure accessibility and eliminate access barriers. In parallel, it is also essential to check the accessibility of websites to support the improvement of policies and identify flaws to be addressed. This paper presents a platform for checking the accessibility of websites and their pages. The platform includes the entire verification process, from the collection, processing, and presentation of results to various levels of abstraction, supporting analytics at the page, website or even domain level. The platform enables users and developers to check the accessibility of government websites quickly, flexibly, and objectively. Finally, we present a case study of the proposed platform being applied to the Brazilian governmental Web (gov.br), demonstrating its applicability and effectiveness, in addition to already identifying weak points about accessibility.
