Accessibility Testing Results

This was a joy to use with the keyboard when in the edit boxes and using the forms. Contrast levels were a slight issue but content text was easy to read and instructions clear. At times the tabbling order was a little odd in places. There were pages that had very clear icons and colours to help with navigation. It all worked in the WebbIE text browser.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		Labels for each section of the login are in situ and there are no captchas.
2	Image ALT Attributes		Alternative text is offered for all critical images on the site - screenreader users will be able to understand the content as clearly as others.
3	Link Target Definitions		All links, including images which would otherwise be ambiguous, have titles to uniquely identify them.
4	Frame Titles and Layout		No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		The page is still understandable and functional when it is viewed as a linear document, with no styles.
6	Audio/Video Features		Can publish any type of multimedia and include a text transcription. Videos are uploaded to the blog so they would need to have the captioning in place beforehand.
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		Audio descriptions can be added at any time within the blog along with a text transcription.
8	Appropriate use of Tables		Rich text editor (TinyMCE) is table-based. Has keyboard controls for many menus.
9	Tab Orderings Correct and Logical		Tab order is in a logical and consistent top-to-bottom or left-to-right format.
10	Page Functionality with Keyboard		The website is fully accessible without the use of a mouse.
11	Accessibility of Text Editors		TinyMCE. Keyboard accessible, but would be nice to be able to Shift+Tab.
12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		The site often provides suitable feedback.
13	Contrast and Colour Check		Text of featured "tumblelogs" fails AAA validation, barely passes AA although general text content is easy to read. Headings of tumblelog articles fail validation it is the blue on blue that is the main problem.
14	Page Integrity when Zooming		The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15	Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability		The majority of text on the site is size 12 and sans-serif.
