Bobby report for Mardiros Internet Marketing

When included, the copy of the original web page is marked with Bobby hats. Hats with wheelchairs indicate Priority 1 accessibility errors that are automatically detectable. A question mark identifies a possible Priority 1 error that Bobby cannot fully automatically check, indicating that the user needs to address that question manually. - How to read the Bobby report

This report refers to a previous version of this website. We'll make sure this version is AAA compliant before the end of July 2007. The report did not include any wheelchairs, only question marks.

Priority 1 Accessibility

Priority 1 User Checks

User checks are triggered by something specific on the page; however, you need to determine manually whether they apply and, if applicable, whether your page meets the requirements. Bobby A Approval requires that all user checks pass. Even if your page does conform to these guidelines they appear in the report. Please review these 5 item(s):

1. If you can't make a page accessible, construct an alternate accessible version.
- Page is still accessible in Lynx despite the fact it is displayed text-only.

2. If style sheets are ignored or unsupported, are pages still readable and usable?
- Style sheets have been disabled for testing. Page has proved to be usable.

3. If you use color to convey information, make sure the information is also represented another way.
- Color is used for graphics and links. Graphics have alt tags while links have title tags. Links are easily recognisable because they are underlined, hence, colour-independant.

4. If an image conveys important information beyond what is in its alternative text, provide an extended description.
- No image conveys information beyond what has been included in alt tags.

5. If a table has two or more rows or columns that serve as headers, use structural markup to identify their hierarchy and relationship.
- All tables have headers and use structural markup to identify them.

The following 2 item(s) are not triggered by any specific feature on your page, but are still important for accessibility and are required for Bobby A Approved status.

6. Identify any changes in the document's language.
- There are no changes in the document's language.

7. Use the simplest and most straightforward language that is possible.
- The text is readable as it was intended for anyone interested in the subject.
