Abstract

Web accessibility studies work towards implementing processes and recommendations that lead to the development of interfaces which have their access granted for users regardless of their disabilities. Although many efforts have been done to develop client-side applications in order to provide their interface accessible, few works actually aim the development of the web applications for low literacy individuals. In this context, the present study focus on identifying web design principles which ensure access into web applications by illiterate and functional illiterate users. The principles were extracted from Human-Computer Interface studies reported in literature, through a systematic review process.
