Statistical Study to Measure the Accessibility of Websites in Morocco: Evaluation of Three Categories of Websites

The general concept of accessibility has been applied mainly to physical spaces, public and private, now applied in the digital world, thanks to the widespread popularity of web. New technologies, litigation, business strategies and more continue to push the definition of accessibility. Today, this definition has expanded to include digital media, such as websites and mobile applications. The internet continues to provide digital solutions to a wider audience, which makes it imperative for web developers to integrate elements of digital accessibility. This paper presents an exploratory study on the accessibility of Moroccan websites based on three categories. We chose an automatic accessibility evaluation tool to evaluate the compliance of the different categories' sites in Morocco with WCAG 2.1, then we compared the accessibility of educational sites category in Morocco with Tunisia and Kuwait. The analysis results were not satisfactory, which shows that further work is required to improve the accessibility level.
