Re: Existence of accessibility standards??????????



Thank you for the two links. The first leads to
https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/preliminary/ which is specifically oriented to someone with my needs and background.

Hi, When I as a totally blind user am advising web designers on accessibility I point them to http://w3.org/WAI and http://www.webaim.org and also do tests with the keyboard and let them know what I need as far as what information the web site should be giving me.  Testing with more then one platform and browser also is very helpful.  Making sure images have alt texts in their <img> html tag and elements like forms have text labels or if they are image labels that alt texts exist.  Nick Gawronski

Do _verifiable_ "accessibility standards" exist?

There are automatic tests, but they are never enough, you always need an
end-user test as well.

Is there something analogous to https://validator.w3.org/ which I could run?




I wish to ask a publicly funded service some ATYPICAL questions.
When I submit their homepage to https://validator.w3.org/ it reports
    28 errors
    10 warnings

I am *NOT* visually impaired. However I suspect the site would be VERY
difficult to navigated by visually impaired.

Such errors are a sign that they did not care, indeed.
