Results for Flickr Tell a Story in 5 Frames

Description

Users are supposed to use five photos (and no text) to tell a story visually. The community can respond. It is part of the flickr family of sites, but in this case designed to encourage creative thinking with comments similar to a blog.

Accessibility Testing Results

The site is easy to use and once the photos are loaded and individual ones are chosen there is a heading where people tend to label the picture. The site has good structure, is keyboard accessible and is easy to read with good contrast levels and easy zoom.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		Flickr uses the standard Yahoo.com signup form which is fully labelled and accessible. Once you have this sign in completed you can use all add-on applications for Flickr.
2	Image ALT Attributes		Not all images on this site offer alternative text - this may cause screenreader users to have a differing understanding of the content.
3	Link Target Definitions		All links, including images which would otherwise be ambiguous, have titles to uniquely identify them.
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		It is possible to add text descriptions to images.
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		There is no chance to add audio descriptions to images.
