[DCAD] Website Inclusion

[Conrad Harris]

Hi Hamza,


I had a very quick look at the website and I was able to navigate and 
read the information on the site using a screen reader. I did not try 
any of the audio information.


You might want to suggest that they review the use of "Heading Styles". 
I noticed that Heading Styles were used both as headings as well as 
within paragraphs, making it difficult

to use it to quickly jump to the section of the document you are 
interested in.


For Example, when I went to the page entitled "

CALL FOR APPLICATION: The Kano Labour Institute" both the title as well 
as the information in the paragraph below the heading was formatted in 
heading style. This means that each line of the paragraph I read is 
prefaced with "Heading Four" before the information is read to me. This 
increases the time you take to read the material and can also be very 
annoying.


You can also suggest the Heading Styles be used logically; with Heading 
1 being used for main heading headings, Heading 2 for subheadings and 
Heading 3 for subsubheadings,etc.


  Also, try to ensure links are formatted as links. There is a link to 
the list of partners but it does not show up as a link when using the 
screen reader.



You can encourage the person doing the website to become familiar with 
the Web Accessibility Guidelines if they have not yet done so.
