    • We also do manual testing for keyboard & voiceover navigation using ChromeVox and Apple’s built in VoiceOver.

Conformance Criteria

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. We have done our best to make sure that MuscleEgg.com is conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA.

In our efforts to meet the criteria above, we have paid particular attention to the following:

  • Images
    We strive to make sure that all images (with the exception of non-essential background images) have clear descriptions that can be read by screen readers.
  • Buttons and links
    We strive to make sure that all buttons and links have clear descriptions of what they do when a user interacts with them. We strive to make sure that all hover and focus events have more than just a color-change (for example, underlined text or text spacing) to give the end-user a more visual cue that an item is being hovered or focused.
  • Video
    We strive to make sure that all video has closed captioning that is timed with the media itself.
  • Navigation
    We strive to make sure that our site navigation can be accessed using only keyboard controls and a screen reader. We strive to make our headings and labels clearly descriptive of the topic or purpose it is associated with. We also include a “Skip to content” button visible only to screen readers.
  • Forms
    We strive to make sure that all form fields have relevant labels that describe what they are for.
  • Text, Color, & Contrast
    We strive to make sure that all text color has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 with its background and can be readable when resized up to 200%.
