Accessibility refers to how viewable or usable a Splash page is to guests with disabilities, which can include blindness and those who have difficulty hearing, reading, and understanding. Improvements in accessibility benefit everyone's experience on page.

WCAG 2.1 Compliance

While your Splash event page is not WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.1 compliant out of the box, we use their standards as a guide for making our event pages more accessible. 

Accessibility Tips

Here are our top tips for improving your Splash page's accessibility:

1. Use Image and Text elements on top of each other instead of images that have text in them.

2. Assign a hierarchy level to headline elements to optimize your text for screen readers.

3. Add alt text on Image and Square elements as well as Background Images.

4. Add alt text to image elements in email campaigns.

5. Add alt text to the headline image in your form.

6. Assign a focus state color to the elements on your Registration Form touchpoint, including:

• Close Button
• Text Links
• Input Border
• Button Border

7. Avoid text below 1rem or 16px, especially on lower-contrast backgrounds.

7. Add a title attribute to your iFrames

When an iframe is given a title, screen reader users can pull up a list of frames and identify the content based on its title. Without a name, a screen reader user may just hear "frame," the file name, the path of the iframe, or an unhelpful name like "javascript".

For iframes that have meaningful content, provide a title using the title attribute.

For iframes that contain non-readable content, provide a title to pass automated tests, but be sure to hide the content altogether from screen reader users using aria-hidden="true".
