Various reports reveal that Web Accessibility remains one of the major concerns that still requires additional awareness. In addition to providing development support in IDEs for creating Web pages, post-development support can also be provided by using Web augmentation techniques. However, the scripts for augmenting Web pages to improve such aspects must currently be developed manually and may require continuous adaptation to the evolving Web sites. In this work, we tackle these challenges by integrating LLMs into the Web augmentation process to improve accessibility concerns on the client side. In particular, our approach first performs an LLM-based accessibility evaluation of Web pages, and based on this feedback, the LLM is instrumented to resolve reported issues.
