[Athen] Adobe Spark - better?

[Hunziker, Dawn A - (hunziker)]

Hi Robert,

The experience you have with the first version of the page is a typical Adobe Spark page. It was very inaccessible and allowed screen reader users to access a very minimal amount of information. The option to visit a static version of the page appears to be a new feature and Adobe’s answer to address the inaccessibility of their original design.

I think the fact that I can at least access all of the information is better but it’s still a separate interface and I’m not sure, yet, how it’s rendered.

Hello, I remember seeing this link before in a magazine I was reading but it didn't really help much because all of the content was still out of order.  I notice on this page, there are two headings - We're looking for a few good teachers and We want you!  I see nothing else.  When I click the link, though, the rest of the text is there and my screen reader finds it.  How come it isn't read before I click the screen reader link?  I do notice that the images are not given any alt text, unless "photo" and "photo grid" is the alt text.

Hi all,

I just ran across a Spark page where there’s an option to  “View Static Version” (it appears as a kind of hover option when the page first loads). However, with a screen reader, it’s the first link and it is labeled to tell the user to access a version that has a more accessible experience. Alt tags don’t seem to be included on the “static site” so I’m researching that with the creator of this site.

Wanted to send this out to see if anyone else knows of an announced update around this feature and/or alert you of a new option.

Have a good Wednesday!
