The website is a WordPress site created using the Divi theme and builder from Elegant Themes. Using WordPress and the Divi theme and Divi builder makes a site very quick and easy to create, but also removes access to huge parts of the coding.
As part of the accessibility process, Divi Accessibility Plugin version 1.2.6 was installed. This plugin fixes many of the shortcomings of Divi with regards to accessibility. Most notably, it facilitates navigating the website using keyboard only.
The accessibility plugin offers a developer’s facility which highlights issues with regards to headings, contrast, link test, labels, and image alt-text.

| Contrast | All | Insufficient contrast in title on picture background and on highlighted menu item | The title on the picture background is redundant information so does not need fixing. Furtermore, the font is so large, it does not need the high contrast of smaller fonts. However, I may move the title to above the picture to avoid the insufficient contrast. The insufficient contrast in menu will be fixed by making the colour darker. Done. |
| Homepage | Insufficient contrast on links in areas which have blue background | The insufficient contrast in areas with blue background will be improved by making link colour darker and background colour lighter. Done. | |
| Documents | None | ||
| Parish Council Meetings | Insufficient contrast in links in areas with grey background. |
The insufficient contrast will be fixed by making the link colour darker and the grey background lighter. Done.
|
|
| Village Hall | Insufficient contrast in links in areas with grey background. |
The insufficient contrast will be fixed by making the link colour darker and the grey background lighter. Done.

| Link text | All | Links in menus are single words (not descriptive enough) | This ok in menus and doesn’t need fixing |
| Labels | All | None | |
| Image alt-text | All | None | |
| Homepage | On the homepage, some of the pdf icons are highlighted as being decorative. They are just warnings and no different from all the other pdf icons on all the pages. | I have made the decision that all pdf logos are to have no alt text as they are not essential for screen readers which will know that the link is to a pdf document. |
