The site works well with a screen reader, that's good, but I don't know
what the up arrows in various places on the page are for.
Also, the very first button on the very top of the page has no label, and
thus just shows up as button on a screen reader. Clicking said button does
nothing as far as I can tell, so might want to either add a label, or
remove it, depending on what it's used for.
Can you be more precise, please ? There are 80 buttons on the page, as far as
I can see, they all have aria-label.
These issues are still present on the latest version of the page. The
button is there just before the link that says skip to content. The up
arrows are fewer now, and appear to be next to headers for subsections, but
don't really explain to a screen reader what they're for, is it to collapse
the section? Is it to scroll up the page? Is it for some other use?
Up arrows indicate that what came before is a link to an external site. This
is common practice these days - see e.g. wikipedia. I'll add
aria-hidden="true" to them, so they're invisible for screen readers.
I did that and updated the site. If you have a moment, please test and
report if it is better now.
Michael.
