13 - Accessibility

Iris comes from a publisher that sells accessibility. It holds to it in the administration as on the site, and measures it rather than claiming it.

In the administration

  • Measured contrast, in light and dark mode, on the media library, the lightening screen and the media manager badges: no text below 4.5:1.
  • All colours come from Atum, the Joomla administrator template, and follow its hue: change it, Iris follows. The only exception is the purple of "Trash".
  • With the keyboard: the folder tree with the arrows, thumbnails with Tab, Space to tick, Escape to close, a focus always visible, native dialogs that hold the focus.
  • For screen readers: every button has a name, every pictogram is hidden (the label is enough), log messages are announced.

On the site

  • Descriptions: Iris pushes you to describe every image (chapter 4) and reuses them on insertion.
  • The viewer: it works with the keyboard, arrows and Escape.
  • The carousel never moves on its own.
  • Documents announce their format and size before anyone clicks.
