Description

Conduct a comprehensive accessibility review of the entire Tailspin Toys website to ensure it meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards and provides an inclusive experience for all users, including those with disabilities.

Why this is important

  • Inclusivity: Accessible design ensures that users with disabilities can use the platform effectively
  • Legal Compliance: Meeting accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) protects the project from potential legal issues
  • User Base: Approximately 15% of the population has some form of disability; accessibility expands the potential user base
  • SEO: Accessible websites often rank better in search engines

Acceptance Criteria

  • Audit homepage for accessibility issues using automated tools
  • Audit game listing page for accessibility issues
  • Audit game detail page for accessibility issues
  • Verify all images have descriptive alt text
  • Verify color contrast meets WCAG AA standards (4.5:1 for text)
  • Test keyboard navigation on all interactive elements
  • Verify proper semantic HTML structure (headings, lists, buttons)
  • Verify ARIA labels are present where needed
  • Test with screen reader (e.g., NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
  • Update accessibility E2E test suite
  • Document any findings and fixes in CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Fix all critical and high priority accessibility issues
