A well designed and highly accessible websites are very important for organizations to communicate with different categories of the users in this IT world. It has also became mandatory for various organizations to design websites and offer all its services. Analysis of specific group of government websites across a spectrum shows that there was tremendous need for longitudinal study of website content accessibility. To accomplish this they put heaps of diligent work to represent information on sites which are client driven and can be open easily by the clients having distinctive capacities. This is possible with the help of continuous monitoring by the designers to design websites according to the website content accessibility standards i.e. WCAG(Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). The responsibility of designer or concerned organization is to evaluate the web content accessibility using web content evaluators. These evaluators will generate compliance reports according to which developers can modify their website content as per the need of every user. In this paper, the current scenario of various accessibility checkers and WCAG compliance for government website is analyzed.
