WCAG Compliance

Bonjour, Cédric,

My oldest and largest website is https://www.fearringtonfha.org . This site is for the exclusive use of my community's residents and former residents, who number upwards of 2,000.people. Last year, as a volunteer driver helping non-driving people to medical and other appointments, I met a resident who, like his wife, has been blind since birth. His statement was that our website is "useless" beause his screen readers can not "see" menus and other on-screen elements. 

Recently this person suggested instAlling software from UserWay.org . This software has been installed on https://www.fearrington.com , the website for the builder om our community. If you open this site and type Ctrl-U (or click a small icon in the lower-right corner) you will see an accessibility menu. If you play around, you can get it to read the screen and hear what a blind person hears - quite usable for him, he says.

I did install this on my development site https://dev.fearringtonfha.org and Ctrl-U opens the accessibility menu. Again, you can make it vocalize (say) what it "sees" on the top menu. You can also select "Highlight Links" and see the problem - in MaximenuCK "separator" menu items are not recognized as menu items, and drop-down and fly-out menus that aren't visible unless clicked (or hovered) are not read at all.

I have learned of two other blind people in the community and I wold like very much to provide them access to the content of my website through the UserWay screen reader. 

My suggestion, then, is to provide a way to code the very beautiful and rich MaximenuCK is such a way as to make its functionality "visible" to the blind. If you have done this already I would appreciate a link to the documentation.

Thank you very much/Merci beaucoup et bonne année nouvelle,
Jim Brooking
