dc.description.abstractWeb accessibility is beneficial for many users, including those with permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities. Web accessibility is also mandated for public authorities by the European Web Accessibility Directive (since Sep 2019), and for some of industry’s products and services by the European Accessibility Act (starting Jun 2025). As of today, web authors and admins often lack expertise in designing accessible websites. Automatic tools (so-called monitoring systems) can detect only some of the existing barriers in websites but cannot repair any of them. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach (called “live coaching”) for teaching web authors and admins on web accessibility. Web accessibility experts discuss automatic reports of monitoring systems bi-weekly with the web authors and admins and propose solutions to the barriers with the highest priority. In addition, other barriers that are related to those in the report but can only be detected manually, are discussed. Early results are encouraging, fueling the hope that by this approach, the expertise of the trainees grows, and the number of barriers shrinks; not only for those that were detected automatically, but also for those that require manual examination.de
