Equal Entry Website Called Out as Inaccessible
- A bit of a clickbaity headline, describing how Equal Entry responded to a complaint that one of their web pages had 2 accessibility errors, which was the result of an automated tool and turned out to be all false positives. For example, one of the errors was that an input was missing a label, but it was a
textarea
used for visual spacing only. It hadaria-hidden="true"
, so it didn’t need a label. The post has a useful overview of how the consultancy conducts an accessibility test, with a reminder that aiming for a 100% pass rate can be a false prophet.
