People with disabilities may have problems accessing websites and using web applications due to lack of necessary tests in the software development and carelessness or ignorance in maintenance. Bringing them into the web world unhindered should be one of the main goals of administrations, web developers and content managers. This study covers the accessibility evaluation of the 76 health related websites on the island of Cyprus to verify the degree of compliance of the websites with The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). At the end of the evaluation by using two different tools it was concluded that the websites under investigation revealed that only 6.67% of the home pages are in the acceptable level and none of the websites are completely error free. In addition, all of the pages of the 20 websites that examined had accessibility errors.
