Name: Brian Hardy Email: brian.hardy@visionaustralia.org Affiliation: Vision Australia Document: W2 Item Number: Success Criterion 1.4.3 Part of Item: Comment Type: technical Summary of Issue: Conformance Level wrong Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change): Having sufficient contrast on a website is critical for people with low vision. Without it the website content is not available Use of assistive technolgy such as Magnifiers does not overcome this problem. While it may be possible to use a stylesheet to change the contrast, this is an necessary and unreasonable burden on the user. It is easy to build websites with reasonable contrast and is basic to accessible design. Proposed Change: Change from Level AA to Level A.
