I’ve audited it with a suite of tools and screen readers, with
requirements from WCAG 2.1 AA in mind:
- The V.Nu HTML validator
- Axe v3 (via Accessibility Insights)
- VoiceOver in Safari 13 on macOS 10.14
- VoiceOver in Safari 14 on iOS 14
- Manual keyboard testing in latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari on macOS 10.14
Here is the list of issues I identified:
- Missing a `lang` attribute, so screen reader users would potentially
have the page announced in the wrong language.
- It would be better for the page title to directly state what the page
is about, and match the main heading.
- There shouldn’t be an `h2` used for the Django docs link – this isn’t
a section of the page.
- The links in text are only distinguished by their color – this is
problematic for colorblind users, who might not realize there are links.
- The main rocket launch visual should be hidden for screen reader users
- The animation should respect `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)`
([https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/32051 #32051])
- The main heading should be a `h1` (the page has no h1 currently)
- The main paragraph text needs to pass color contrast checks
- SVG icons should be hidden for screen reader users.
- SVG icons in links should be set to `focusable="false"` for screen
reader users in IE11
- (It would be nice for all text on the page to pass AAA contrast
requirements, considering it’s such a simple page. Currently, the footer’s
p tags only pass AA).
- For some reason the footer links don’t have a focus outline for me in
Firefox & Safari
- Footer links shouldn’t be using h4 headings
- Text font size and line heights shouldn’t be defined in pixels, so
users can resize text if desired
I also made a recording of the VoiceOver testing for future reference:

accessibility of the Django admin, there are a lot of small fixes /
improvements that should be done to the accessibility of the "The install
worked successfully! Congratulations!" page for new projects.
I’ve audited it with a suite of tools and screen readers, with
requirements from WCAG 2.1 AA in mind:
- The V.Nu HTML validator
- Axe 3.5 (via Accessibility Insights)

- VoiceOver in Safari 13 on macOS 10.14
- VoiceOver in Safari 14 on iOS 14
- Manual keyboard testing in latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari on macOS 10.14
- Manual zoom testing in Chrome, with browser-level zoom from 100% to 400%
- Manual zoom testing in Chrome, with font size increase to Very Large

Comment:
Hi Thibaud. Thanks for this. Very happy to look at changes here.
One note: at least for the admin, we don't support any version of IE (it's
Edge only). If it's just an extra attribute then no problem, but I'd
double-check before we add lots of code for IE compat.

Comment (by Thibaud Colas):
👍it’s just the one attribute – I’m happy to remove it if you think this
isn’t worthwhile. The consequences of _not_ having it are simply that the
SVGs become tab-able in IE11, which is annoying but not too big of a deal
at the bottom of a page like this.
I can see myself doing similar focused audits (and hopefully fixes too!)
following the accessibility discussion on django-developers, so any
feedback on the audit format above and how to implement the fixes is
appreciated. Hopefully we’ll discuss a more systematic approach to this as
part of the accessibility team DEP, but in the meantime I’m keen to tackle
the low-hanging fruits.
