Stories:

  1. As a visually impaired user, I want to be able to take advantage of screen readers, so that I can enjoy the many poems on the site.

  2. As a user who suffers from color blindness, I want to be able to use the site without concern for color, so I can easily participate with all aspects of the site.

  3. As a deaf user, I want to be able to have access to videos posted on the site with clear subtitles or sign language, so I can understand and enjoy the content.

  4. As a user with eye glasses, I want to be able to differentiate between the background and text on the screen, so I can easily read the poems.

Estimated Size: Small-Medium

Acceptance Criteria:

  • The HTML markup should be well organized and allow screen readers to easily navigate through elements and sections to give visually impaired users a clear idea and structure of the site.

  • If we have an abundance of color in the site, it must not control or limit how a user interacts with it.

  • The content will vary from text to videos on the site, and when videos are displayed, we must have options to include sign language (ASL), and videos with clear subtitles.

  • Use fonts, text size, and color that is easily viewable for users that have vision problems. Part of this may overlap with overall presentation and design.
