Bell Canada's Financial Quarterly Reports Web Page

Enhanced web accessibility for a page containing a financial table and sidebar links, improving the experience for screen reader and keyboard-only users.

The Problem:

  1. The financial table was not properly interpreted by screen readers, making it difficult for blind users to navigate using arrow keys and understand their current position within the table.
  2. Sidebar links lacked descriptive context, preventing screen reader users from understanding the purpose of each link.

The Solution:

  1. Improved the table's semantic structure and applied ARIA attributes to provide screen readers with more accurate context for each cell, ensuring logical navigation and clarity.
  2. Updated sidebar link text to include "download" in their accessible names, helping users better understand what each link does before activating it.
  3. Conducted NVDA screen reader testing and keyboard accessibility testing to validate proper navigation flow, clear link announcements, and compatibility with assistive technologies.

Skills & Tools Used:

  • HTML
  • ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications)
  • NVDA Screen Reader
  • Keyboard Accessibility Testing
