Abstract
This study presents a proposal for adaptation of an interactive systems design methodology called Usability Engineering Lifecycle. An adaptation of this methodology aims to specify its application solely to web sites and to exclusively aid web projects focused on accessibility and universal design. Thus, web sites designed with this adapted methodology must allow full access to disabled persons and individuals with differentiated physical, perceptive and motor skills, regardless of appliance or user agent. To do so, the methodology was analyzed in detail and then improvements particularizing and increasing its efficiency in the previously established context are suggested, based both on accessibility principles and research about Human-Computer Interaction and Ergonomics.
