Accessibility Testing Results

The website is accessible in many areas so it is a shame that the use of labels for the forms is not more uniform in order to help screen reader users. The fonts and zooming are good and contrast levels are clear. A wonderful collection of language options and translation is available.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		The login form is very simple just requiring an e-mail address and password. The forms are keyboard accessible which make a navigation between field easy but there are no labels and if you use NVDA there are no prompts although the text fields can be seen in text browser like WebbIE.
2	Image ALT Attributes		The images of book covers tend to have the word used in the search field as their alt text. This is not important as part of the content as the real title of the book is next to the picture but it is confusing. There are very few other pictures.
3	Link Target Definitions		All links in the web site have understandable titles. They are easy to work through in text only format.
4	Frame Titles and Layout		Frames are used on the web site and some lack description titles which is picked up by using Accessibility toolbar but does not appear to impact on use when listening with NVDA screen reader.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		The content of the pages is understandable and navigation is accessible when viewed in linear format.
6	Audio/Video Features		The website can be linked from Twitter which is only allows for 140 characters of text and no images. Videos and audio are not used.

8	Appropriate use of Tables		Some aspects within the pages are designed by using tables, and there do not appear to be some headings but they do not seem to affect the use of NVDA and linearise well.

10	Page Functionality with Keyboard		Pages are fully accessible without using a mouse and there are no media players or items that may impact on the choice of browser.

12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		The website provides good feedback when the user fills in a form and it is accessible for screen reader.
