Bobby Analysis of Selected Web Sites in the NEMLAC Region

A survey of the accessibility of the home pages of selected Web sites in the NEMLAC region has been carried out. The survey makes use of the Bobby compliance checking tool.

It is important to be aware that this survey does not say if a page is accessible - it simply reports on accessibility problems which can be detcted by an automated tool. A full accessibility audit would require amnaul checking in addition to use of automated tools.

A summary of the findings is given in the following table.

You can use the service yourself either by going to Bobby or by entering a URL in the following box:
