Non-accessible Content

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of this website we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for this website: https://www.hermoves.ie/

Keyboard/Screen reader navigation is not yet accessible on parts of the website. Many pages have interactable elements that are either placed in the wrong programmatically determinable order or are skipped entirely by a screen-reader. Other pages feature non-interactable elements that may appear in the wrong focus order on a screen-reader. Some pop-up dialogs do not automatically move the screen-reader focus to them when they are opened. Some pages also have invisible interactable elements in the programmatically determinable focus order.

Skip to content link is not yet implemented. The “skip to content” link on the website does not appear as the first element on the page.

Images – Some parts of this platform feature photos or icons that have incomplete or missing alt text. We are currently working through images to add contextual alternative text.

Videos – we are currently working through videos to add accessible captions and other media alternatives.

Moving Content – we are currently adding alternative functionality to all moving, blinking or auto-scrolling content across our platforms.

Link Text & Graphical Elements – we are working to remove links named ‘click here’ and ‘find out more’ where possible, links and graphical elements such as icons, will be given clear labels.

Correctly structured content with good heading usage – Many pages on this platform do not have a programmatically determinable heading structure, whilst other pages feature a heading structure that is in the wrong order. We are creating logical heading structures on our pages.

Cross operating system compatibility – has not yet been implemented in every section. We are currently updating CSS for desktop and mobile.

Mobile navigation – along with cross operating system compatibility, once CSS has been updated, we will audit for mobile navigation and ease of use for screen readers.

Third-party content – there are areas of our website controlled by third-party companies, such as the cookies. These are not funded by, developed, or controlled by https://www.hermoves.ie/, but work is in progress to resolve as many issues related to these areas as feasibly possible.
