Accessibility Problems and Recommended Solutions

Subject	Results	Recommendations	Priority	JIRAs
Images	OK
Linearized Content	OK
Reliance on Sensory Characteristics	Fail	Site widget organization relies on a visual paradigm that is not apparent to a screen reader user. Instructions for controls must compensate.
Use of Color	OK
Sufficient Contrast	OK
Resizable Text	OK
Semantics	OK	HTML used appropriately.
Keyboard Interoperability	OK	Came across bug. Top listing in Active Sites cannot be moved to Archived Sites with keyboard command. Also possible to tab through list of sites instead of using i,j,k, and m keys, but this is not outlined in the instructions (IMO, much less cumbersome than using the letter keys).
