The website is run by Share, a learning and development and professional support provider for the housing sector in Scotland and beyond. Share wants as many people as possible to be able to use this website and understand its content.
This means that:
- Text is written in clear, simple language, using short sentences and bullet points where possible.
- Pages use proper headings and a logical structure to make it easier to navigate, including for people using screen readers.
- All essential content and functionality are designed to work with just a keyboard, without needing a mouse.
- Images include meaningful alternative text so that people using screen readers can understand their purpose.
- Audio and video content is supported by captions or other descriptions so people who cannot hear can still access the information.
- Colour contrast between text and background is chosen so that text is easy to read, and important information is not shown by colour alone.
- Links and buttons use descriptive text
- Online forms include labels for all input fields and helpful error messages to support users to complete and correct forms.
- Pages respond to changes in orientation on mobile devices and can be used with simple touch interactions such as single-finger taps, helping users with limited dexterity.
- Users can stop or pause animated or moving content, such as carousels, to reduce distraction and support people with cognitive disabilities.
The website has been tested with screen readers as part of ongoing accessibility work, and further improvements will continue to be made.
What we are doing to improve accessibility
Share will continue to test pages with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation and fix any issues found.
