Accessibility Testing Results

The site is easy to use with a mouse but not all editing areas are accessible with a keyboard or screen reader. Once the photos are loaded and individual ones are chosen there is an area for writing and submission which is using plain text but the text to edit must be clicked on and this is not obvious. The site has good structure and is easy to read with good contrast levels and easy zoom.

# Test Score Summary
1Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible Excellent The standard Yahoo.com signup form is accessible and has good keyboard access with good labelling for screen reader users.
2Image ALT Attributes Good Not all images on this site offer alternative text as it depends on the user - this may cause problems for screenreader users and some photos have actions that need to be take rather than the photo description.
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 A text description can be set for items and if required a long section of text can be added.
7Video/animations - audio descriptions Good Text can be added to image descriptions but not audio.
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 although this appears to be handled correctly in most places.
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 Good This site does not have a rich text editor.
12Appropriate Feedback with Forms Excellent The product provides suitable feedback when the user performs an action.
13Contrast and Colour Check Good No contrast issues.
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.
