Purpose of This Tool

The purpose of this questionnaire is to assist website owners in improving website accessibility for users with low vision by providing valuable recommendations that they can implement.

The questionnaire evaluates various aspects of website accessibility specifcally related to the viusally impaired demographic including but not limited to tracking, functionality of assistive technologies, brightness and color. This is in line with the accessibility standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium [W3C] (2016).

Website Accessibility Analyser for Users with Low Vision


Category: Brightness & Colour

Q1) Can users adjust the overall brightness of the display?


Q2) Does the change in brightness accommodate preferences?


Q3) Does the website provide alternative options to colour such as a black background option in addition to a white background?


Category: Tracking

Tracking simply means following lines of text, including transitioning from the end of one line to the beginning of the next.

Q4) Can users read text comfortably without having to scroll back and forth horizontally?


Q5) Are users able to view text in a single continuous block?


Q6) Does the website provide the option for users to turn hyphenation on or off based on their preferences? Hyphenation is the act of joining two words using a hyphen such as “check-in”.


Category: Perceiving

Q7) Can users change the font size of all text without zooming the entire interface?


Q8) Can users choose from a variety of fonts, including serif and sans serif options?


Q9) Are users provided an option to change the size of all interface elements to accommodate their perception needs?


Category: Point of Regard and Proximity

The point of regard is the area that the user is viewing. Proximity is the space between items. In user interface generally, proximity is about using space to group related content and separate unrelated content.

Q10) Does the website ensure that your current reading position remains visible even after making adjustments like enlarging text or altering page formatting?


Q11) Are related information such as labels and controls kept in close proximity?


Category: Work with User Settings

Q12) Does the website adjust to and display all relevant settings you've chosen on your computer or web browser?

For example, if you have adjusted your computer or browser settings for accessibility like text size or contrast, does the website adapt accordingly?"


Category: Compatibility with Assistive Technologies

Please note: Assistive technologies were not discussed in the WCAG guidelines, therefore, realising its importance I have integrated these questions within the questionnaire:

Q13) Can users effectively navigate and understand the content of the website using a screen reader?

A screen reader is an assistive technology, primarily used by people with vision impairments. It converts text, buttons, images and other screen elements into speech or braille.


Q14) Can users easily navigate through this website using keyboard controls only, without relying on a mouse?


Q15) Does the website offer text-to-speech functionality?
