Abstract
This paper presents a study assessing the effect of development technology choices on the accessibility quality of web pages. We used an off-the-shelf tool to identify technologies over a set of 1669 pages, each from a different domain. We have focused, in particular, in programming languages, Web and JavaScript frameworks, and content management systems categories. Simultaneously, we used an automatic accessibility evaluation tool to assess the accessibility of those pages. The study shows statistical evidence that some technologies lead to more accessible pages, within all categories.
