      1. Perceivable - Colour Blindness Test The web page does an adequate job of applying colour in its web design. People who are colour-blind or have other visual disabilities should be able to perceive the differences. I used the colorblindy extension in testing and didn't see much difference with the ability of the site to be perceivable. The labels are primarily in bold text or capital letters, making them clear. However, the typeface is an issue as it tends to be on the smaller side, making it more difficult for those with vision impairments to distinguish what different text they are seeing.

      2. Operable - Keyboard Navigation Inaccessible Based on the module, any page content or features accessible with a mouse should also be accessible with the keyboard. Unfortunately, this web page has significant issues with keyboard navigation. Navigating the web page using the tab key (or Shift+Tab to go back), arrow keys, or the enter or spacebar to follow links or activate buttons produces either no output or wildly unexpected navigation. The arrow keys and Escape keys do little to nothing to assist in accessing the different tabs, drop-down menus and the like. Furthermore, there is almost no visible indication. When there is, it is difficult to follow when using the keyboard to navigate, especially for sight-impaired users to tell where they are on the page.

      3. Understandable - Layout design complexities When assessing the ability of the webpage to address the principle of understandability, it needs to be revised based on its layout. Those who experience dyslexia, ADHD, or autism may find this webpage a struggle to interpret and navigate due to the excessive amount of cluttered visuals, the abundance of ads, menus, redirects and their news/blog windows. If they simplified their layout and made it more streamlined, it could reduce the possibility of confusion, frustration and misinterpretation of the content. A simple design and predictable web navigation and structure can make their web content more understandable and easier to navigate.

      4. Robust - Screen Reader Labyrinth The way that the Screen Reader is set up on this webpage makes searching for information extremely tedious. Using Silktide, I ran its screen reader accessibility option for those with visual impairments to see how easy it would be to navigate the webpage using a screen reader. There was no header in some situations, so it was challenging to understand if I accessed the option I was looking for or something completely different. When I navigated to the content I was looking for, I could not narrow my search and retrieve details regarding anything specific I may be looking for. In some situations where I could get information on a price if it were listed as a range, it would distinguish the price as a tabulation, for example—60,000 minus 90,000 rather than prices between.

      5. Robust - Missing Alt Text for Images Something that could be significantly beneficial to those with vision impairments would be the inclusion of Alt Text for the webpages images. After an examination, I found that many of the visual images on the webpage do not have any assigned Alt Text attributes. Many of the images in question could significantly aid someone with vision impairment had they been assigned attributes that could be read using screen readers.
