Results for Mobile Facebook
Description
Mobile Facebook is a simple version of the main Facebook social networking site that is designed for use on mobile phones. It offers a very clean linear look and feel without all the extra advertisements and applications. Users still have links to friends and family but less images appear in different sections.
Accessibility Testing Results
Being designed for mobile phones, there are many areas where this site is simplified and more accessible than the main site. However, when viewing on a computer, the forms have major problems as they are not labelled and may therefore be problematic for screenreader users. Many issues are dealt with well, such as zooming, contrast and page design.
| # | Test | Score | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible |  |
The login form is not labelled, and the signup form that you are directed to is not either. This may cause big problems for some screenreader users although NVDA read the nearby text. |
| 2 | Image ALT Attributes |  |
Images such as the site logos have alternative text, but images that have been uploaded by users do not. |
| 3 | Link Target Definitions | |
Many links are repeated such as "Add as Friend", which can not be understood unless you know which user you are adding. Links are generally titled to identify their destination. |
| 4 | Frame Titles and Layout |  |
No frames or iframes are used in the design of the site. |
| 5 | Removal of Stylesheet | |
The site is fully accessible with the correct document structure when it is viewed without the stylesheet. |
| 6 | Audio/Video Features | |
The mobile version of this site does not deal with multimedia content. |
| 7 | Video/animations - audio descriptions | |
The mobile version of this site does not deal with multimedia content. |
| 8 | Appropriate use of Tables | |
The page layout does not use tables. |
| 9 | Tab Orderings Correct and Logical | |
Tab ordering is a logical top-to-bottom or left-to-right format. |
| 10 | Page Functionality with Keyboard | |
The page is fully functional without a mouse. |
| 11 | Accessibility of Text Editors | |
There are no rich text editors just plain text forms that are accessible via a keyboard but they have no labels but NVDA reads the text beforehand and the navigation is so much easier compared to the original Facebook. |
| 12 | Appropriate Feedback with Forms | |
There is generally good feedback when the user performs an action. |
| 13 | Contrast and Colour Check | |
The mobile version of Facebook provides better contrast than the main site, which makes the text more comfortable to read. |
| 14 | Page Integrity when Zooming | |
The layout and readability of the site is unaffected by zooming. |
| 15 | Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability | |
There is some small text which is readable but may be uncomfortable for some users. Sans-serif fonts are used, and there is no flashing or blinking content. |
