BenToWeb: Benchmarking Tools and Methods for the Web

Posted by editor on May 29, 2008

Over the years, Web content accessibility has played a crucial role in the World Wide Web in the sense that it has become a determinant factor in the way the Web has evolved and progressed. A good number of organizations dedicated to the maintenance of the Web through common standards and guidelines had already been created and Web users are now finding the Web a lot more accessible and manageable than before. One project that had been born out of the idea of enhancing Web content accessibility was BenToWeb, a project from the Web Accessibility Benchmarking (WAB) Cluster. It was founded in order to support the European public and private sector in the application of the recommendations of the eEurope 2005 Action Plan. Though the project has ended on September 30, 2007, BenToWeb continues to offer benchmarking tools and methods that can help in creating a more accessible Web.
