Accessibility Testing Results
Text input fields were not well labelled and login was difficult with a screen reader as it was an overlay to the main page rather than a new window. Alt tags were not available for uploaded pictures and many already on view were unhelpful. Contrast levels for some text was not good although text size was good.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible |  |
The forms do not have labels, which may cause problems for some screenreaders. |
| 2 | Image ALT Attributes | |
Very few critical images have alternative text. |
| 3 | Link Target Definitions | |
Images are commonly used as links - these images do not have titles so their destination cannot be read by a screenreader. |
| 4 | Frame Titles and Layout |  |
No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design. |
