Freeway Reference: Accessibility
210
210
For all of us, the web is increasingly becoming a part of everyday life. We use it for finding news, shopping, paying bills, searching for
jobs, entertainment, and much more. Because it now plays such a vital role, it is important that the content we put on the web be
available to everybody, including those who are using assistive technologies such as screen readers or braille converters.
Accessibility Report
FW Pro only
The Accessibility Report dialog in Freeway Pro displays a list of the accessibility issues associated with the current document or page.
The information about each issue tells you what the problem is and which item or page the problem is associated with. If you move the
mouse over each item in the list, a help tag is displayed explaining why the issue is a problem for accessibility.
To view the Accessibility Report for an individual page, select the desired page in the Site Panel and choose Accessibility Report… from
the Page menu. To view the Accessibility Report for the current document choose Accessibility Report… from the File menu.
The following types of issues are reported: problems with pages (e.g. absence of a title), problems with items (e.g. issues with alt text,
form items without placeholder text, too much consecutive graphic text, lack of contrast between text and background), problems with
links, problems with access keys, and problems with styles (e.g. use of the blink style). Freeway also lists text phrases that have links
attached so that you can check that they would make sense when read out of context by a screen reader.
In cases where there is a problem with alt text, the Accessibility Report dialog provides a text field where you can edit the alt text.
Usability Report
FW Express only
The Usability Report dialog in Freeway Express displays a list of usability issues associated with the current document or page. The
information about each issue tells you what the problem is and which item or page the problem is associated with. If you move the
mouse over each item in the list, a help tag is displayed explaining why the issue is a problem for usability.
To view the Usability Report for an individual page, select the desired page in the Site Panel and choose Usability Report… from the
Page menu. To view the Usability Report for the current document choose Usability Report… from the File menu.
The following types of issues are reported: problems with pages (e.g. absence of a title), problems with items (e.g. combined graphics
covering an entire page, HTML items with text overlapping graphic items, text output as a JPEG, excessive use of graphic text, multiple
spaces in HTML text, paragraphs split across flow-linked items), and problems with styles (e.g. use of the blink style, use of font sets that
do not contain generic alternatives).
Preview options
Freeway provides some options on the Preview Toolbar that can help you to assess how accessible a page is.
Text Size
Clicking on the Text Size buttons will increase or decrease the size of HTML text. This can be useful for testing how usable a web layout
is at different text sizes. Visually impaired readers may prefer to use larger than normal text sizes. You can also use the standard browser
shortcuts: Command-+ and Command-minus (or dash).
Style sheet
FW Pro only
The Accessibility style sheet (available from the Style Sheet popup) displays how your web page might look to users who are using an
accessibility style sheet in their browser.
Refresh
This option will reload the page, as in a browser.
Images
Clicking on the Images button will hide or show images on the page. Most browsers will display alt text when images are hidden—but
there are some versions of Safari which fail to do this. Freeway uses Safari’s Webkit engine to preview web pages, which means that it
will mirror Safari’s behavior in this respect.
B/W
FW Pro only
Clicking on B/W will toggle between displaying the page in black and white (grayscale) and in color. If parts of your page become
unreadable when it is displayed in grayscale, you should consider using different colors for the benefit of users who have some form of
color blindness.
A side-effect of using this option is that JavaScript is disabled when the page is displayed in grayscale.
