Description

Collects and stores users' bookmarks (favourite web pages), so they are available from any computer. They can be set up in various categories by using tags or keywords. The site maintains lists of popular bookmarks to show what people are looking at on the Internet each day. Bookmarks can be shared between websites, people via e-mail and other social networks.

Accessibility Testing Results

Despite one or two labels missing and the choice of how to search which does not appear in the text version most of the site is very accessible and keyboard navigable. It is easy to sign in and bookmarks are added with plain text forms. Some menu buttons have low contrast levels but on the whole the site is easy to read and zooms well
