    Slider - accessibility improvements

    What is it?

    Accessibility of the Site Studio Slider has been enhanced to include features from Accessible360's Slick replacement. These include:

    • Users can define an aria-label for the Slider container, which also has a role="region" attribute/value.
    • Instructions can be provided for screen reader users on the Slider container. This is added as a visually-hidden paragraph within the Slider container but before the slides.
    • Each Slide item has a role="group" attribute/value with an aria-label value of slide x, where x is the numerical index in total number of slides.
    • When Autoplay is enabled the user can add a play/pause button to the Slider, add visually-hidden state labels and customise its appearance and position.
    • When Center mode is enabled, the aria-label of the centered slide will be appended with the text (centered).
    • The ARIA roles tablisttabpresentation and tabpanel have been removed from pagination HTML and slide items.
    • Keyboard navigation (using left and right arrow keys to traverse slides) was originally enabled programmatically. Whilst on by default for backwards compatibility, there is now a toggle option in the Slider container settings form to disable this option.

    Customers using screen reader technology on your websites should have a better experience, providing configurable options are completed by site builder.
