Abstract
The aim of the paper is the usability analysis of the user interface of movie-related websites in terms of universal design. The analysis was performed in order to verify the influence of fulfilling the universal design concepts on services usability. The studies were based on two interfaces: Filmweb and the one designed by the authors. For the purpose of analysis the following research methods were used: questionnaires, eye-tracker and validator tests. Moreover, there was compliance with World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards checked. Ten participants aged 23-25 took part in the study. Results analysis have shown that fulfilling universal design conceptions significantly increases usability of the interface.
