The Reasoning Behind This SC Introduction <\/h4>\n\n\n\n So, the whole idea behind this Success Criterion is to make sure that when you’re trying to\u00a0click<\/strong><\/span> or tap on something, you don’t accidentally activate something else that’s too close. This can be a real pain for\u00a0people who have a tough time with precise movements<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nHitting a small target gets even trickier when there’s another one nearby. By making these targets big enough<\/strong>, or at least putting enough space between them<\/strong>, we can help avoid those accidental clicks or taps.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis rule really helps those dealing with hand tremors, spasticity, quadriplegia, or other conditions that affect their dexterity. Some of these people might use special input devices that aren’t as pinpoint accurate as your typical mouse or trackpad.<\/strong> The bright side is that by meeting this requirement, we’re also making touchscreen interfaces easier to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJust to clear things up, this Success Criterion sets a minimum size for targets<\/strong> and, if that’s not possible, a minimum amount of space between targets.<\/strong> So, technically, you could still have tiny, hard-to-hit targets and meet this requirement, as long as they’re not too close to any other targets<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBut let’s be real, bigger targets are going to be easier for a lot of people to use. So, the best practice is to at least\u00a0hit<\/strong><\/span> the minimum size requirement of the Success Criterion<\/strong>, no matter how much space you’ve got around your targets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\naccessibility<\/i><\/div><\/div>Our Approach<\/h3> In this context, the design plays a crucial role. If the element is very small, it should either be isolated from neighboring elements or positioned a bit farther away to allow for comfortable interaction.\u00a0<\/em>#6: Success Criterion 3.2.6 Consistent Help – Level A <\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n \n If a Web page contains any of the following help mechanisms, and those mechanisms are repeated on multiple Web pages within a set of Web pages, they occur in the same order relative to other page content, unless a change is initiated by the user:rnrnHuman contact details;rnHuman contact mechanism;rnSelf-help option;rnA fully automated contact mechanism.<\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/footer>\n <\/blockquote>\n \n\n\n\n
The Reasoning Behind This SC Introduction <\/h4>\n\n\n\n Basically, the idea behind this SC is to make sure people\u00a0can<\/strong><\/span> find help when they need it on a website. It’s all about consistency – if you put your help features in the same spot across different pages, users will have an easier time finding them. This isn’t about those little extras like spell checkers or form instructions, but more about the\u00a0big-picture help.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMaking sure your help feature is in the same place on each page makes it a lot simpler for users to find. So, if you’ve got a link or some kind of help button\u00a0in<\/strong><\/span> the header of one page<\/strong>, it’s best to keep it in the header on other pages<\/strong> too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt could be something like a contact phone number right there on the page, or even a link that takes you straight to a contact page. But whatever it is, it needs to be\u00a0in<\/strong><\/span> the same spot on each page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen checking to see if this SC is met, you need to see where the help feature is in relation to the rest of the content on the page. If other content that’s on every page comes\u00a0before<\/strong><\/span> the help feature, then it should be the same on this page. And anything that comes after the help feature on other pages should come after it on this page, <\/strong>too.<\/p>\n\n\n\ncreate<\/i><\/div><\/div>Note<\/h3> If the help feature is visually in a different spot, but in the same order<\/strong>, it might not be as helpful <\/strong>from a user’s perspective, but it wouldn’t technically fail this criterion<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When someone’s having trouble doing something on a website (or part of a website, which we call a set of web pages), some people with certain types of disabilities might not be able to figure it out without some extra help. They might be struggling with filling out a form, finding a document, or locating a page with the info they need to finish a task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without help, some users might just give up. They could also mess up a task, or end up needing help from someone who might not keep their private info safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
accessibility<\/i><\/div><\/div>Our Approach<\/h3> This issue should ideally be addressed while planning the website\u2019s structure. When we encounter inconsistencies in how user assistance is provided, we bring this to the client’s attention and recommend that they should reconsider the website’s structure, especially if accessibility is crucial for them.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n#7: Success Criterion 3.3.7 Redundant Entry – Level A <\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n \n Information previously entered by or provided to the user that is required to be entered again in the same process is either: rnrnauto-populated,rnor available for the user to select.rnrnExcept when:rnrnre-entering the information is essential,rnthe information is required to ensure the security of the content, or rnpreviously entered information is no longer valid.<\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/footer>\n <\/blockquote>\n \n\n\n\n
The Reasoning Behind This SC Introduction <\/h4>\n\n\n\n This SC is designed to simplify user experiences, particularly for multi-step processes<\/strong>. It’s about not asking you to input the same information twice <\/strong>within a single process.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRemembering information can be a challenge, especially for users with\u00a0co<\/strong><\/span>gnitive or memory issues<\/strong>. It’s also tiresome for everyone else, as the effort to recall information can accelerate fatigue and lead to errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the browser’s autocomplete feature offers some help<\/strong>, it doesn’t fully address the problem<\/strong>. It’s up to the website <\/strong>to provide you with the information you’ve already entered during a process.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis criterion doesn’t imply that websites should store your data between sessions. It only\u00a0applies<\/strong><\/span> within a single activity<\/strong>. However, if a process involves different domains, such as a transaction with a third-party payment provider<\/strong>, it’s included<\/strong> in this criterion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cAvailable for the user to select” includes various methods of populating fields, whether it’s choosing an option from a dropdown, copying text into an input field, or using a checkbox to reuse information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data that’s “available for the user to select” should ideally be\u00a0visible<\/strong><\/span> on the same page <\/strong>and closely associated with the input field. But it might also be elsewhere on the page, perhaps hidden behind a show\/hide component.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis criterion doesn’t apply<\/strong> if you’re providing data in a different way, like uploading a document<\/strong>. It also\u00a0doesn’t<\/strong><\/span> affect how passwords are auto-filled by your browser.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile this criterion doesn’t specifically discuss privacy, it’s important to ensure data protection when implementing features like auto-population. There’s a need to avoid exposing personal info while preventing redundant entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, there are exceptions <\/strong>to this rule. For example, if re-entering info is essential, for security measures<\/strong>, or if the previously entered information is\u00a0no<\/strong><\/span> longer valid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n#8: Success Criterion 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum) – Level AA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n \n A cognitive function test (such as remembering a password or solving a puzzle) is not required for any step in an authentication process unless that step provides at least one of the following:rnrnAlternativernAnother authentication method that does not rely on a cognitive function test.rnrnMechanismrnA mechanism is available to assist the user in completing the cognitive function test.rnrnObject RecognitionrnThe cognitive function test is to recognize objects.rnrnPersonal ContentrnThe cognitive function test is to identify non-text content the user provided to the Web site.<\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/footer>\n <\/blockquote>\n \n\n\n\n
The Reasoning Behind This SC Introduction <\/h4>\n\n\n\n This rule is all about making sure there’s a simple, safe way to sign in<\/strong>. Most websites use usernames <\/strong>and passwords<\/strong>, but remembering or writing down all that info can be really tough<\/strong>, especially for people with certain cognitive disabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile some sites use things like recognizing objects or user-provided non-text content to help with this, it’s not the best solution for everyone.
As for other types of Captchas, make sure that they meet the accessibility requirements before incorporating them into your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
