Given the theme of this forum, as well as your target audience, I'm obliged to point out that your website unfortunately has several serious accessibility issues which will definitely impact the ability of some users to access the content.

Is this something you're aware of? You're welcome to post something to the Site Critiques section, to get advice on how you can improve things.

Thank you for your opinion, James. What else do you think need to finalize on the site?

Best regards, Alexander
Reply with quote There are various issues, I'm afraid. They can all be fixed, of course.

Just a few things to kick off:

  • No Headings (which are necessary to give the pages structure)
  • Form labels are not associated with the various elements
  • Links do not change appearance on focus, so someone tabbing through the site wouldn't be able to easily tell where they are
  • The animated banner could be distracting and should, at least, come with an option to pause

See WebAIM's article on accessible tables for more about this.
