Resumo
With the aging of the global population and technological advancement, the digital inclusion of the elderly on the Internet has become a major challenge. The lack of accessibility geared towards this audience has hindered their adaptation
to new digital means. From this need, the development of a library with accessibility features targeted for programmers is proposed, based on research to identify the main problems and navigation difficulties on the Web faced by the elderly, in order to promote ease of use and a better user experience. Throughout the article, the need for web accessibility for the elderly will be discussed, the development process of the proposed resource library, and how it can effectively improve the online experience of the elderly. Important concepts about usability, accessibility, and visibility principles that underpinned the development of the components are explored. Testing and validation tools, such as
AccessMonitor, WAVE, Axe, Lighthouse, and Pa11y were used to validate the components’ compliance with accessibility guidelines. All components were subjected to tests using the WAVE tool and the AXE tool, and after rigorous evaluation, no problems were found, confirming total compliance with accessibility standards. Additionally, all documentation is made available on the GitHub repository and with its installation via NPM, and future plans for expansion and improvement of the components.
