This paper identifies challenges for design of web pages for low vision. It examines key usability considerations
(subject, occasion, audience, and purpose) for defining
content for web pages and emphasizes seven basic
principles of universal design. SOAP for web pages is a
model that web page developers can use to define
content criteria for websites. The model emphasizes an
interdisciplinary approach to audience, needs, task, and
requirements analysis. It discusses a user–centered
approach (capture, specify, plan, realize, deliver) to
usability testing. Additionally, this paper summarizes key
findings from low vision research on type legibility. The
paper concludes with design principles that can be
derived from print–based studies (normal and subnormal
vision) for developing accessible web pages.

Abstract: This paper identifies challenges for design of web pages for low vision. It examines key usability considerations

findings from low vision research on type legibility. The
