Abstract
In this paper, an initial set of guidelines, rated as highly important by experts, is assessed in order to deduce a subset of quickly applicable ones. The widely accepted guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is considered as an initial superset. Then an evaluation of a governmental website is done with the established subset and findings of the application process are discussed. In order to quickly improve the usability of websites in terms of design and aesthetics, quickly applicable guidelines may be helpful.
