However, despite the increase in web interactivity, people with disabilities are still finding it difficult to access websites, due to non-compliant of most websites to the W3C guidelines. This research was carried out to evaluate websites' conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Ten websites were selected at random from different fields such as education, business, industry, and entertainment; which were evaluated using the TAW tool. The evaluation was based on the four general principles of WCAG 2.0: Operable, understandable, robust, and perceivable. Our finding discovered a lack of guidelines conformity by most if not all the selected websites.
