Accessibility Testing Results

Much of the web site is accessible, but with the main idea of being able to share photos and videos etc. it would have helped if there was a greater ability to describe these features. It is possible to share comments and the links are clear.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		The web has a simple form to login and is keyboard accessible. It can be read by a screen reader user but there labels missing from the forms that may affect text browser users.
2	Image ALT Attributes		There are very few alternative text tags provided for images. Some alternative text tags do not have clear descriptions or it appears tags cannot be read by a screen reader user with NVDA.
3	Link Target Definitions		All links in the web are clear and understandable
4	Frame Titles and Layout		There are many frames throughout the web pages and all of them without description titles.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		The content and navigation throughout website is accessible and understandable when it is shown in a linear format.
6	Audio/Video Features		The website does not appear to support alternative text/descriptions when uploading videos, so media does not have captioning, subtitles or audio descriptions unless added during the development of the videos.
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		The web site does not appear to allow the addition of audio or video descriptions.
8	Appropriate use of Tables		The page layout has been designed without using tables.
9	Tab Orderings Correct and Logical		Tab order in pages is in a logical order and texts can be read top-to-bottom or from left-to-right.
10	Page Functionality with Keyboard		Navigation for the majority of the pages is accessible without using a mouse. However, other pages include some components that require mouse use depending on the browser used. This is particularly the case with media players when accessing videos.
11	Accessibility of Text Editors		it is possible to comment and add text using the main editors when using keyboard shortcuts. However, there are some elements that cannot be used by screen reader users as they are not read aloud.
12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		Feedback when the user fills a form is good and it is accessible to screen reader users.
13	Contrast and Colour Check		The site passes colour contrast validation, so in theory is accessible, but there are some very small text menus in light blue text. Some have been made bold and these are easier to read.
14	Page Integrity when Zooming		The web site maintains navigation and readability when zoomed.
15	Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability		There are some sections where a very small font size is used, which does not make for easy reading. Most main menus have good contrasting text and background but some use serif fonts. There are no blinking elements and the content is easy to understand.
