    Default Website accessibility

    Hi folks I posed a question some time ago regarding the accessibility requirements no in place which are required of local authority websites. The list of requirements is long and as usual with bureaucratic requirements over complicate. As I do a couple of local Parish council websites for some years now and am getting a headache as how I can adapt their happily accepted websites to meet the new requirements to meet disabled users.
    The addition of alt text to pictures for online readers is ok but there is a perceived requirement to have included ARIA Landmarks incorporated into the website.

    Anyone in the know as to whether this can be added/incorporated into Xara? As per usual this has all originated in the good old USA and adopted (as usual) by our government.

    It would on the face of it mean that all of the graphics and designs available in Xara will essentially be reduced to a text only site to comply with text reader, keyboard navigation colour contrasts within narrow limits etc etc. Help please

    Ken, I did mention ARIA earlier. Also https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/.
    You also have https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/he...rstanding-wcag.

    Today, I've added https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...bility-Testing.
    Tried it on TG itself; it is pretty poor: https://ace.accessibe.com/?website=h...lkgraphics.com
    Just tried it on Xara itself: https://ace.accessibe.com/?website=www.xara.com

    The only one that is compliant is one of my WordPress sites!.

    Come on Xara!!
