- Rated 1 out of 5by George Bergman, 8 months agoIt is still enormously difficult to understand what I am supposed to
 do! You really ought to test out your system on a set of users who are
 not familiar with it and are not web design experts, see what they have
 trouble understanding, and do something about each such problem; e.g.,
 put links into the pop-ups users get on using Siteimprove on a web
 page, linking to pages they can go to which will tell them what
 to do, with examples they can imitate
 E.g., when I click on the Siteimprove tool for many of my pages, one
 of the complaints is that the "language" is not specified. Fortunately,
 I found that my home page, which was designed by specialists decades
 ago before I knew anything about html, did not produce this complaint,
 and I found that it had a line . I guessed
 correctly that lang="en" specifies the language. I wasn't sure what
 dir="ltr" means, but I checked online and found that out; so now
 I know to put this on all my pages that don't have it. But your
 Siteimprove tool ought to give, with the diagnosis about language,
 a link that the user can click on and be informed of this immediately!
 (Maybe it does -- but if so, it's not clear where it is.)
 Incidentally, in addition to testing your system out on naive users,
 it might also be good to take a few of your workers who know the
 system from top to bottom, and ask them to put themselves in the
 place of someone naively reading the instructions, and try to note
 things that they might not understand. They might know subtleties
 of the system that naive user might incorrectly think they understood,
 but that they actually misunderstood. (But if it's a choice between
 checking it on naive users and on experts, the former seems most
 important.)
 A year ago, when these accessibility requirements were first brought
 to our attention, I received a long spreadsheet of problems on pages
 on my website. This suffered from the above difficulties, but at
 least it was presumably complete. This time, I don't see any way
 to get such a list -- do I have to go to each of the many many
 pages on my website and apply the Siteimprove tool to them one by one?
