Description

A tool really designed for created linked tours or annotated drawings/maps- generate a base map by importing or drawing, add nodes, each with a view looking in 4 directions, captions, link together.

Accessibility Testing Results

This site really is not useful for those using screen readers as the main output is a combination of a video tour and a map and the players are only usable with a keyboard in certain browsers such as Internet Explorer. Text and contrast levels are good and navigation is intuitive.

# 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. However, there is no Captcha and the forms look clear and easy to use when sighted.
2Image ALT Attributes Poor Many of the images in this product are within Flash components, without the use of alternative text - this may prevent screenreader users from fully understanding the content.
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 Good The search box within this product loses its label when no style is applied to the page.
6Audio/Video Features Fair It is possible to add text descriptions to go with the images and maps.
7Video/animations - audio descriptions Fair There is no chance to add audio descriptions but text can be added.
8Appropriate use of Tables Poor Tables are used to construct this site - this may cause some screenreaders to read the content in the wrong order.
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 Poor The pages beyond login on this site are built using Flash and not accessible for screenreader and keyboard users.
11Accessibility of Text Editors Poor Text editor is not accessible for the screenreader or keyboard user.
12Appropriate Feedback with Forms Good There is no feedback after the user signs in, although other clues provide sufficient guidance.
13Contrast and Colour Check Good No contrast issues.
14Page Integrity when Zooming Good The page resizes correctly, but the Flash component becomes misaligned.
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.
