Description

Quickly creates albums using images from Flickr. Users can annotate the images and manage pages just like a regular photobook. Books can be published to the site. This can be very creative and fun with very little effort.

Accessibility Testing Results

The pages are not accessible with a text Browser such as WebbIE and it is hard to really make any impression just using a keyboard as the project book and editing is all based on Flash elements. Fonts are a mix of serif and sans serif and in most places perfectly readable. However, in the archive, the tags are much harder to read as they have a transparent background on wood - this can be changed with browser settings and use of zoom.

# Test Score Summary
1Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible Poor All forms are in Flash and do not have labels - ironically even though you cannot login using text browser or screen reader the donate button is accessible!
2Image ALT Attributes Poor Critical images on this site do not have text alternatives as they are all part of the entire Flash set up. Nothing is seen in the text browser.
3Link Target Definitions Poor This site features ambiguous links which cannot be identified or distinguished by a screenreader.
4Frame Titles and Layout Excellent No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5Removal of Stylesheet Excellent The page is still understandable and functional when it is viewed as a linear document, with no styles.
6Audio/Video Features Fair When text is added to slides it can be read but not by a screen reader application.
7Video/animations - audio descriptions Fair There does not seem to be a way of adding audio descriptions - only text summaries to slides.
8Appropriate use of Tables Excellent Tables are not used for the design of this website.
9Tab Orderings Correct and Logical Poor Cannot tab into Flash component
