Problems Found
Checkpoint A, alternative text: ALTs for decorative and design elements are not empty, making for messy reading by a screen reader.
There are no ALTs for the images in the rotating display.
Checkpoint C, color: There is not enough contrast in the left-side menu--
Foreground:#333333 Background:#798FC3
- colour difference:306/brightness difference:91
- The difference in brightness between the two colours is not sufficient. The threshold is 125, and the result of the foreground and background colours is 91.
- The difference in colour between the two colours is not sufficient. The threshold is 500, and the result of the foreground and background colours is 306.
Checkpoint D, styles: The top-row navigation does not work when CSS is disabled or when a user stylsheet is used.
Checkpoint L, scripts:
The top row navigation is not accessible to keyboard users.
The top row navigation does not work when javascript is disabled.
The rotatating pictures (and their navagational links) do not work when javascript is disabled.
Checkpoint O, skiplinks: The page does not have a means to skip navigation links.
Evaluation: Issues discovered in Checkpoint A are easily addressed. More problematic are the issues raised by the failures in Checkpoints C, D and L. Color usage, CSS and javascript needs to be analyzed and reconfigured. Templates do not appear to be in use, so the work involved to correct these problems could be extensive.
