Things your website does by default:
-Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen.
-The layout and text will reflow to a single column when zoomed (except for tables).
-You can navigate the website using speech recognition software (dependent on the speech recognition software itself).
-You can listen to most of the website using a screen reader (dependent on the screen reader)
-The main menu is structured as an unordered list. Users of many assistive technologies can navigate by and within lists.
-The language property is identified in the header of the page -this is useful for screen readers as it allows them to read the content appropriately.
-Translate button - There is a translate button at the top right hand side of the page that can be used to translate the website content into a different language.
Things which you can control which will help:
-Enabling the accessibility widget. This widget allows the end user to control things like font sizes, contrast etc. This can be turned on by clicking Sites from the dashboard -> Settings -> Set “Add accessibility toolbar on the page” to Yes then click Save.
-You can add semantic headings to the content on your site. We suggest making sure to make use of these - they are available in the editing menu at the top left. There are choices of various heading options.
-Make the website text as simple as possible to understand.
-Add image captions to be displayed below images.
-If adding an image to a text box, you can edit the “Alternative description” field to provide a brief description of the image. This only works for images added within a text box at the moment.
Constraints and things your website doesn't do, which is unlikely to be changeable:
-Most older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software.
-Videos do not have captions.
