Popular Culture in Britain & America (Adam Matthew)

Summary

This high-level assessment covers limited portions and functionality of the Popular Culture in Britain and America Platform. The assessment revealed issues with assistive technology compatibility, resulting in some users missing information required to perceive and understand content, and to operate functions. It is important to keep in mind that the findings represent a high-level assessment, and do not reflect the results of a Deque Comprehensive Web Assessment.

Top 3 issues

  1. Name, Role, Value – Consistently, when a tab widget is present there are errors in its implementation.
    These errors can lead to the widget not operating in a manner that users expect.
  2. Contrast – Many issues exist with contrast of text, contrast of User Interface elements, contrast of focus indicators and contrast of different states (focus / hover). These issues can negatively impact a low-vision user.
  3. Label in Name – While there have been improvements in the programmatic labeling of controls, some areas do not include the visible text within the programmatic label. Issues of this type can negatively impact sighted users who may rely on voice command/input software to navigate and operate a page – these users rely on being able to dictate the text labels that they observe on-screen.
