Digital Hall of Fame ARIA Landmark Audit for Inductee Navigation
A digital hall of fame ARIA landmark audit is the process of verifying that your school’s recognition website uses HTML sectioning elements and ARIA landmark roles to divide the page into named regions—navigation, main content, search, and supporting sections—so that screen-reader users can jump directly to any region without tabbing through every element on the page. WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships, Level A) requires that structure conveyed visually be available programmatically; properly labeled landmark regions are the mechanism that fulfills this requirement for page-level structure. On a digital hall of fame platform, meaningful landmarks protect the recognition experience for every visitor who uses NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, or TalkBack to navigate inductee profiles, sport-category pages, and search results. This guide gives school administrators, athletic directors, IT staff, and recognition-program managers a complete screen-by-screen audit table, numbered remediation steps, and a reusable issue log to complete in under one hour.
