Abstract
The current development of the Internet and its growing use makes it necessary to satisfy the needs of all users including those with disabilities having accessibility problems. Therefore we developed a new validator software called XValid, which is a human controlled testing tool for specific needs in light of design for all. We used the well-known WebXACT and this newly developed XValid validator for testing governmental, commercial and e-learning web pages. We made a comparison between both testing results. Based on these results we want to open web-designer’s eyes to the typical errors.
