Description

This site allows users to make notes, save webpage content or items related to projects and categorise them for sharing with others via tags. It is very easy to add pages to your own folder and link with RSS feeds etc.

Accessibility Testing Results

This could have been a very easy system to make accessible but sadly the edit boxes are floating forms and not all appear in a text browser such as WebbIE. Where they are labelled they work well and it is possible to search and read others notes. Keyboard access is poor in places and navigation is affected with some parts of the note making. Zooming is good and the majority of the site is easy to read.

# Test Score Summary
1Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible Excellent Sign-up and sign-in forms are accessible, with correct labelling for screenreaders.
2Image ALT Attributes Poor Alternative text is rarely offered for images on the site - screenreader users will not be able to understand the content as clearly as others.
3Link Target Definitions Excellent All links, including images which would otherwise be ambiguous, have titles to uniquely identify them.
4Frame Titles and Layout Excellent No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5Removal of Stylesheet Poor The page is unusable without the stylesheet, but some content can be accessed.
6Audio/Video Features Excellent The service allows the user to link out to any number of websites so the media content tends to be off site.
7Video/animations - audio descriptions Excellent The service allows the user to link out to any number of websites so the media content tends to be off site.
8Appropriate use of Tables Poor Tables are used to construct this site - this may cause some screenreaders to read the content in the wrong order. These tables also have no headings.
9Tab Orderings Correct and Logical Excellent Tab order is in a logical and consistent top-to-bottom or left-to-right format.
10Page Functionality with Keyboard Poor Cannot create new note as the 'new' button cannot be tabbed to. Page cannot be used without a mouse.
11Accessibility of Text Editors Excellent This site has no rich text editor.
12Appropriate Feedback with Forms Excellent The product provides suitable feedback when the user performs an action.
13Contrast and Colour Check Good Homepage uses blue on yellow and a large amount of light blue on white. This is continued past the homepage, but large sections of text generally have better contrast ratios.
14Page Integrity when Zooming Excellent The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability Good The majority of text on the site is size ten, which is readable but may be uncomfortable for some. Sans-serif fonts are used, and there is no flashing or blinking content.
