Abstract
The aim of this study is to identify current accessibility practices and functionalities in Graco
Inc.’s customer care site as a means to determine areas of improvement based on current
accessibility research and guidelines. To assess the accessibility functionalities of this site, I took
a two-pronged approach, combining a tool-based assessment with a manual code review.
This study indicates that in redesigning their website, Graco was able to address many of the
accessibility issues that pervade the previous version of the site. However, the assessment
demonstrates several areas of the new site that need to be reevaluated to incorporate accessibility
functionalities.
