# Test Outcome Notes
1 Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible 100% Keyboard access is available. CAPTCHAS are used. However, an audio alternative is provided, as well as a "skip" function (replaced with mobile verification). Form controls/fields do have corresponding labels (WAVE).
2 Image ALT Attributes 100% Alternative text can be added to the text when published.
3 Link Target Definitions 67% Most links are understandable and fully appropriate. Some duplicates are mentioned, such as "Edit" (WebbIE).
4 Frame Titles and Layout 33% Iframes are used within the website which might cause problems to the screen reader. Firefox - AE tool, IE - WAT.
5 Removal of Stylesheet 67% The content and navigation are accessible. However, javascript plug -ins cannot be linked which makes some functions inaccessible. Even mouse scrolling becomes a problem. (GC- web tool).
6 Audio/Video Features 100% Videos cannot be uploaded, however, you can hyperlink a video player, e.g. YouTube.
7 Video/animations - audio descriptions 67% Text, but not embedded audio descriptions can be added when items are uploaded.
8 Appropriate use of Tables 33% Data/Layout tables are found within the website, which are not headered. This might create problems with a screen reader.
9 Tab Orderings Correct and Logical 100% Generally good tab order, with relevant "skip to content" links.
10 Page Functionality with Keyboard 100% The website is fully operable via keyboard. Alternatives to mouse use possible (apart from text editor).
11 Accessibility of Text Editors 33% A rich text editor is used for entering content. It is not possible to tab through menu items and only a few keyboard short cut keys such as Ctrl (Apple key)+B for bold etc.
12 Appropriate Feedback with Forms 100% Forms on the website provide useful feedback of the progress, but not in the presentation itself.
13 Contrast and Colour Check 67% Colour contrast in the site is generally good, but wide use of pale orange with white text for menu items can be hard to read.
14 Page Integrity when Zooming 67% Readability unaffected when zooming and the layout is responsive to changes although some items can overlap when over magnified (e.g. overlapping of search bar and heading).
15 Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability 100% Text is generally between 10pt and 12pt, sans serif font. There is no flashing or blinking content.
