The finding or development
Interviews and automated checks informed navigation, labelling and content fixes. Automated scores improved, but user testing still identified difficulties and requests for audio description.
What supports it
Peer-reviewed case study: seven interviews, seven museum audits and post-redesign tasks with ten blind participants.
Reviewed: Published methods, case study, results and publication history; journal review policy.
Why it matters for design
Connect accessibility findings to specific design changes, then test cultural content with its intended audience.
Read with this in mind
One redesigned museum; small samples; no user-task baseline. Automated scores do not establish WCAG conformance, and unresolved warnings remained. Published 30 April; added to SciELO on 6 July.
