Accessibility Testing Results

Registration uses a ReCaptcha system which may cause interpretation difficulties. The site is keyboard accessible, and media content can be navigated without a mouse. There may, however, be minor issues with the contrast of some text which could affect its readability.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		The signup form is simple and labels are provided. A ReCaptcha system is used which offers an audio version which is meant to be accessible to screenreader users. However, both the audio and visual form may cause comprehension difficulties due to the clarity of the output.
2	Image ALT Attributes		Very few images. Smaller icons and images lack alt tags which can cause problems for screenreader users.
3	Link Target Definitions		Most links have titles to uniquely identify them, making them accessible for screenreader users.
4	Frame Titles and Layout		No frames or iframes are used in the design of the site, which ensures screenreader users can access it easily.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		With the stylesheet disabled, the site remains fully accessible and understandable.

14	Page Integrity when Zooming		The layout and readability of the site is unaffected by zooming.
15	Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability		Sans-serif font is used throughout, although a lot of text is size 10pt which is readable but could be uncomfortable for some users, and some non-essential text is even smaller. There is no flashing or blinking content.
