Good afternoon, everyone -
Can anyone provide guidance on the use of watermarks on the pages of web-ba=
sed training courses - is it compliant, is there a proper way to make it compliant/ensure it's compliant?
I found the below on WebAIM's site, but it's listed under guidance for docu=
ments.
Thank you kindly,
Claire

Watermarks can be a major barrier for people with intellectual,
cognitive, learning and/or neurological disabilities by just being 'in
the way' of the text. So creativity is needed when using them (over
and above the low contrast barrier), if it is possible to go a
different route.
Just my experience with them.
Cheers

I appreciate the insight!
I'm testing a web-based training for compliance and I know watermarks are frowned upon but wasn't sure if there is specific guidance to back up that statement and mark it as non-compliant.

If watermarks create contrast issues with text then it could fall under the contrast criterion. If the watermark is visible but not available programmatically (e.g. to users of screen readers) it could fail under a criterion such as SC 1.3.1 Info and Relationships.

Hi Claire,
For me, even though it could come under WCAG (Jonathan kindly saved me
some typing!), I go further in my work... In my work, if it can be a
barrier, it is good to get it so it isn't...
Cheers
