# Test Score Summary
1Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible Poor There are no labels for forms within this product - this may create problems with some screenreaders.
2Image ALT Attributes Excellent Alternative text is offered for all critical images on the site - screenreader users will be able to understand the content as clearly as others.
3Link Target Definitions Excellent All links, including images which would otherwise be ambiguous, have titles to uniquely identify them.
4Frame Titles and Layout Excellent No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5Removal of Stylesheet Excellent The page is still understandable and functional when it is viewed as a linear document, with no styles.
6Audio/Video Features Good There is the chance to add audio and video as part of the chat system - text descriptions can be added but captioning needs to already part of the video.
7Video/animations - audio descriptions Good It is possible to add audio descriptions as part of the chat and have a text summary. The site is designed more for conversations than full video descriptions.
8Appropriate use of Tables Fair Section for audio files is an unheaded table.
9Tab Orderings Correct and Logical Excellent Tab order is in a logical and consistent top-to-bottom or left-to-right format.
10Page Functionality with Keyboard Excellent The website is fully accessible without the use of a mouse.
11Accessibility of Text Editors Poor Text editor is not accessible with the screenreader or keyboard.
12Appropriate Feedback with Forms Excellent The product provides suitable feedback when the user performs an action.
13Contrast and Colour Check Good Minor contrast issues on selection screen, but shouldn't be a major problem.
14Page Integrity when Zooming Excellent The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability Good The majority of text on the site is size ten, which is readable but may be uncomfortable for some.
