The University of Washington created an inaccessible site for a fictional college (Accessibility U!) that has 18 accessibility errors on it: https://www.washington.edu/accesscomputing/AU/before.html

A "good" version of the same site is at https://www.washington.edu/accesscomputing/AU/after.html



The folks at W3C Web Accessibility Intiative have a similar demo site at https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/



What's interesting to me is that the good and bad versions of the sites don't look all that different to a sighted user.

Double Jeopardy on this one:

Screen reader users won't be able to

1. Stop the audio to read the content

  or

2. Read the translation of the speech that's happening. This is from the Huffington Post
