Accessibility Testing Results

Obsidian Portal is extremely easy to use, with the exception of the Dice-roller window requiring the user to scroll through the entirety of the page to access. The site has high-contrast white text on black for most parts and is laid out in a logical and sensible manner. However, the media player used for the video example is only keyboard accessible in some browsers. Finally, if javascript is removed, some of the helpful features disappear.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		Forms labelled well, but use of OpenID drop down menu prevents keyboard access to non-OpenID input, and must be navigated through in reverse. No alternative provided for CAPTCHA text.
2	Image ALT Attributes		Users are given the option to add alt text to images, though not everyone takes this up. All website images provide Alt-text
