This included checking that our pages can be navigated using only a keyboard, and testing any colour contrasts that could not be automatically checked.</li> <li><strong>User testing:</strong> we’ve been talking to people who have access needs, asking them to show us how they use our website and the problems they face.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Created Date:</strong> 01 September 2019</p> <p><strong>Last Updated:</strong> 25 November 2022</p> <p><strong>Review Due:</strong> November 2023 (unless significant change)</p> <p><strong>Maintained By:</strong> Collections Development Manager</p> <p><strong>Version:</strong> 3</p> </div> </div> </div> </main> <div class="m-newsletter"> <div> <h2>Sign up for the ADS newsletter</h2> </div> <div> <p>This quarterly e-newsletter will keep you up-to-date with all ADS's news and events.</p> <iframe data-w-token="dc0ca223c8244c1c3995" data-w-type="pop-in" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://037ty.mjt.lu/wgt/037ty/onh/form?c=5af88a23" width="100%"></iframe> <iframe data-w-token="dc0ca223c8244c1c3995" data-w-type="trigger" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://037ty.mjt.lu/wgt/037ty/onh/trigger?c=3de6f915" width="100%"></iframe> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://app.mailjet.com/pas-nc-pop-in-v1.js"></script> </div> </div> <div class="m-site-footer"> <div class="main-footer"> <div class="logos"> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/" <h3><img src="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2022/06/logo-uoy.svg" style="width: 150px" </h3> </a> </li> <li> <a href="http://doi.org/10.17616/R3MW23" <h3><img src="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2022/06/logo-re3data-color.svg" style="width: 198px" </h3> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://doi.org/10.34894/GZFRVY" <h3><img src="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2022/06/logo-core-trust-seal-color.png" style="width: px" </h3> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.worlddatasystem.org/" <h3><img src="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2022/06/logo-wds-color.jpg" style="width: px" </h3> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="social"> <h3>Follow us</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/archaeology.data.service/"><i class="fa-brands fa-facebook"></i></a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/ADS_Update"><i class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></i></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/archaeologydataservice/?hl=en"><i class="fa-brands fa-instagram"></i></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/archaeology-data-service/"><i class="fa-brands fa-linkedin"></i></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="footer-navigation"> <nav aria-label="Footer navigation"> <div class="menu-footer-navigation-container"><ul id="menu-footer-navigation" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-6820" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-6820"><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/">University of York legal statements</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3156" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3156"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/terms-and-conditions/">Website terms and conditions</a></li> <li id="menu-item-5469" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-5469"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/cookie-policy/">Cookie policy</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3157" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3157"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/privacy/">Privacy policy</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3373" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-3368 current_page_item menu-item-3373"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/accessibility/" aria-current="page">Accessibility</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3951" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3951"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/contact/">Contact</a></li> </ul></div> </nav> <div class="legal"> © Archaeology Data Service 2024 </div> </div> </div>  <script> var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
