Accessibility on the web : A study of mobility disabled people's difficulties on the web (English)
Abstract [en]

Digital participation is a crucial part of the modern society. Everyone should have the possibility to be digitally active. However, studies have shown that 50 % of people with mobility disabilities in Sweden thinks it is hard to use the internet. The aim of this study is to examine what in a websites structure might cause problems for mobility disabled persons. The study focuses on the four core principles of information architecture that is organization-, navigation-, search- and labeling systems. The study used a mixed method and began with an internet survey among a group of people with mobility disabilities. The survey results then led to an interview with three people with mobility disabilities. The outcome of these two methods showed that the navigation system was the most important one of the four regarding accessibility. The problem that occurred the most was website’s with too deep hierarchy that made the user click many times and scroll a lot. The study also stumbled upon an interesting phenomenon, many people with mobility disability don’t usually think they have a problem with using the internet. But when they think about it, they can see all the little things that might be a problem.
