Accessibility Testing Results

It was a shame that keyboard accessibility was let down by the players for the radio blogs as the majority was very accessible. Text could only be copied with a double click message in the Flash Player. It is possible to choose your own player but then there would be no interaction with other users. The site zoomed well and depending on the radio station most sites were easy to navigate

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		Signup and signin forms are accessible, with correct labelling for screenreaders.
2	Image ALT Attributes		Very few critical images have alternative text.
3	Link Target Definitions		Some non-critical links may seem ambiguous.
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		This site offers a text description of the radio show.
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		The radio shows all have text descriptions
8	Appropriate use of Tables		Data tables are used to show information on the site. These tables have no headings, which may cause some screenreaders to read the content in the wrong order.
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		A pointing device is required to make use of this site.
11	Accessibility of Text Editors		This site has no rich text editor.
12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		The product provides suitable feedback when the user performs an action.
13	Contrast and Colour Check		No serious problems. Mini sitemap at the bottom of each page has inadequate contrast, but a functional version is available at the top of the page.
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 ten, which is readable but may be uncomfortable for some.
