ABSTRACT
Including accessibility in the design of Websites 1.0 entails difficulties, but this situation becomes more complicated when the user becomes a creator in the web. There are new requirements to be considered in the design due to the user's active interaction in the web 2.0 environment, such as the web pages with user-generated content (like Blogs), where there are not only information receptors, but issuers as well,. This paper offers a solution for including accessibility requirements in the design process based on using accessible content templates in order to preserve accessibility and the editing process using models and rules to annotate structure and semantics of contents. This annotation is added to the final codification, which will guarantee a better complement to the standards and accessibility guidelines.
