Before and After Demonstration: Overview - 0 views

  •  
    The Before and After Demonstration is a multi-page resource that shows an inaccessible website and a retrofitted version of this same website. Each web page includes inline annotations that can be activated to highlight some of the key accessibility barriers or repairs. Each web page is also accompanied by an evaluation report to inform the developers on the level of conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

  • If an image is merely used to set atmosphere or provide decoration, it is not always necessary or even desirable to provide a description. In such cases it is best to give that image a null description, such as null alt, as demonstrated below. (A null description informs assistive technologies that the graphic does not need description. If no description [e.g., no alt] at all is included, assistive technologies may announce an unlabeled graphic, leading the user to wonder what is missing.)
