SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ABOUT CREATIVITY AND DEVELOPING ACCESSIBLE WEB SITES

Abstract

The technologies have been evolved in an exponential speed and people are performing daily activities increasingly interconnected. Although beneficial in several aspects, this change is highlighting the difficulty of access that many people still face when they attempt to enter the virtual universe. Some of these difficulties relates to web accessibility, in other words, the right that every citizen has to access information and applications available on the web, regardless of their characteristics or abilities. The scientific community has converged efforts to support the development of an accessible web. However, it is clear that designers and developers still resist working with accessibility because they consider that the guidelines are very restrictive and limits their creativity. This paper conducted a study about the issues creativity and web accessibility aiming to approximate the concepts and identify how creativity can support the process of developing accessible web sites.
