Accessibility Statement

At the 今日吃瓜51, we take web accessibility very seriously. We strive to uphold the highest standards appropriate to our medium

Success Criteria

Priority 1 : Perceivable

Guideline 1.1 : Provide text alternatives for all non-text content
A
Guideline 1.2 : Provide synchronized alternatives for multimedia
not applicable – our multimedia is handled externally by Youtube
Guideline 1.3 : Ensure that information and structure can be separated from presentation
AA
Guideline 1.4 : Make it easy to distinguish foreground information from its background
AAA

So far, priority 1 is met in full. We have gone to lengths to ensure that our web content adapts gracefully to whatever means are being used to perceive it. Some highlights include:

  • multiple themes to address different user needs, including: high contrast, big text, and mobile
  • use of images overlaying text via style to ensure that operating system high contrast settings are handled gracefully and that screen reader rendering is seamless
  • invisible text added to convey information to screen reader users where needed
  • elastic site design which properly renders across 200% magnification and various display resolutions

If we introduce embedded media, we will bring it into compliance with guideline 1.2.

Priority 2: Operable

Guideline 2.1 : Make all functionality operable via a keyboard interface
AAA
Guideline 2.2 : Allow users to control time limits on their reading or interaction
not applicable – we do not introduce timed activities for our users
Guideline 2.3 : Allow users to avoid content that could cause seizures due to photosensitivity
AAA
Guideline 2.4 : Provide mechanisms to help users find content, orient themselves within it, and navigate through it
AAA
Guideline 2.5 : Help users avoid mistakes and make it easy to correct mistakes that do occur
A

Our site is highly operable, but there is room for improvement under guideline 2.5. The site search features will be revisited and improved at a later date. At present, intelligent corrections of user input is an area to be addressed.

Guideline 3: Understandable

Guideline 3.1 : Make text content readable and understandable.
AA
Guideline 3.2 : Make the placement and functionality of content predictable.
AAA

Full compliance with guideline 3.1 demands that all content be readable at a lower secondary school level. This guideline will take time to introduce as it requires all content to be re-written and presented in a plain English version. At present, measures have been taken to allow mouse-over expansion of abbreviations and acronyms.

Guideline 4: Robust

Guideline 4.1 : Support compatibility with current and future user agents (including assistive technologies)
A
Guideline 4.2 : Ensure that content is accessible or provide an accessible alternative
AAA

We meet all Robust guidelines in full.
