Accessibility Testing Results

The site is generally well designed with various options to login, but the accessible form depends on the service is used. The main issue is page functionality with keyboard access and at times it was easier to work in a text only view. The site is complex and allows you to see a website and use the videos etc whilst adding comments for your diigo library. Usability is an issue rather than accessibility on many pages.

Google and Yahoo, as well as the sites registration with supportive instructions but when verification occurred read by NVDA, keyboard exit from the pop up window did not seem possible. There is a Captcha but if a user is a member of the other sites this sign up may be easier.

4	Frame Titles and Layout		iframes are used for advertisements and sections of the website, but it is possible to navigate out of the iframe to the next section.
