  Abstract: The majority of websites have not been designed to make them accessible to all the people for whom they are intended. Nowadays, eEurope initiative (European Commission-eEurope, 2005), wants the institutions to become aware of the necessity of accessibility in websites but without taking care of problems like, who will validate this website? Could this validation be automatic?
  Keywords: website accessibility; website design; W3C; section-508; eEurope; disabilities; WAI; usability; WWW; world wide web; HTML; CSS; validation; accessibility design.
