Submitted by macummings@sen… on
Can the purpose of each link can be determined from the link text, or from the link text together with its surrounding context?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Can keyboard focus be moved to all page elements?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
If moving keyboard focus away from a component requires more than arrow or tab keys, is this clearly indicated on the page?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes:
Is default keyboard navigation order logical and intuitive, following the visual flow of the page as described above?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: The Language submenu is a little unintuitive as the user may have to refresh the page in multiple different languages before reaching their own as the user can only go down one language option at a time in which the page will refresh in the new language and the user must open the menu again to go down to the next language.
When using a keyboard to navigate the interface, is the keyboard focus indicator visible?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: When the keyboard focus is on the search bar or the search icon in the search bar, there is no visible indicator.
Does all interactive functionality work via keyboard, and does it behave consistently and as expected?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: When tabbing after using a skip to content link, the user is brought back up to the top of the page and must tab all the way back down to the content. So, while the link works, a user who only navigates by keyboard will have to tab through everything as though there was no skip link.
