Part of the result of the User Tests https://github.com/boudicca-events/boudicca.events/issues/289 should be concrete improvements for visually impaired users.

Coordinate with your other USCC Fellows to discuss possible features and create tickets for them.

Key topics here might be screenreaders, keyboard navigation, semantic navigation, descriptions of visible elements, contrast, text size, ... See also https://www.w3.org/WAI/fundamentals/

Regarding this issue, I did a quick manual testing of focus using tab key and it seems that there areas for improvement. we need a more through testing to figure out all issue, also, not sure it can be automated or not.

the website can be tested with monochrome screen color to simulate vision impaired people.

a feature that we may want to add is to have some sort of A11Y floating menu on the HtmlPublisher to enable the user to change the color contrast, set the font size, utilize a screen reader or increase or decrease the line height. like the attached image.

After we decided on test framework and user personas we (Leonie, Roba and me) can have the meeting with the researcher from the integriert studieren institute and receive feedback for suggestions.
