Description

Doodle's main use is for scheduling events. It allows a group of people to arrange the best possible date for the event, with the use of a poll. However, the polls can be used for any choice that a group of people might need to make together.

Accessibility Testing Results

The site is quite accessible - it zooms well, has good contrast ratios and no frames or tables used for the design. There are not many issues, although a mouse is needed in order to participate in a poll, and the small text may be difficult for some users to read.

# Test Score Summary
1Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible Good Signup form is labelled well, and does not use a Captcha system. However, the login form is not labelled, and may cause problems for some users.
2Image ALT Attributes Excellent There are very few images, which contain acceptable alts throughout the page.
3Link Target Definitions Excellent All links have titles to uniquely identify them.
4Frame Titles and Layout Good Ads are displayed using iframes, which are titled appropriately.
5Removal of Stylesheet Good Content and navigation is accessible without the stylesheet.
6Audio/Video Features Excellent The site does not deal with multimedia content.
7Video/animations - audio descriptions Excellent The site does not deal with multimedia content.
8Appropriate use of Tables Excellent Page layout does not use tables, and where tables are used for displaying data, such as showing your polls, they have appropriate headers.
9Tab Orderings Correct and Logical Excellent Tab ordering is generally good, in a logical top-to-bottom or left-to-right format.
10Page Functionality with Keyboard Fair The site navigation is accessible without a mouse, but it is not possible to select an option to vote for without the mouse.
11Accessibility of Text Editors Good The site does not use a rich text editor so Test 1 scoring is used.
12Appropriate Feedback with Forms Good Text feedback offered, with some indication of what to do next. No time restrictions are enforced.
13Contrast and Colour Check Good Site contrast is generally very good, although there is some non-critical text that has a poor contrast ratio with its background, such as green on white.
14Page Integrity when Zooming Excellent Layout and readability is unaffected by zooming.
15Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability Good Some small text which may be uncomfortable for some users. Sans-serif fonts used, and there is no flashing or blinking content.
