With efforts over years, the promotion progress still falls behind expectation. One of key problems is menu. Menu is the most important component of interaction between browser and website as well as the key for browser obtaining website information. The design for menu of accessible web site requires much attention. However, there is only few articles regarding menu set forth in standards of domestic and foreign accessible web site and also insufficient studies in related fields. Therefore, the essay adopted this research topic. First, the commonly used types of menus and principles of accessible design were summarized among literatures, followed by design of five experimental websites as taking 「Taiwan Foundation Service for the Blind」 as example to analyze the differences of accessible feeling among general users to five menu types. According to research result, the sequences of better menus for accessibility are 「drop-down menu」, 「fixed single menu」 and 「simultaneous hierarchical menu」. They actually help promoting the accessible feeling of users as applied to accessible web site. Meanwhile, the operational function is major factor that affects the accessibility of menu.
