Buttondown is an email newsletter service that allows you to start, and maintain, newsletters. While the dashboard does use conventional web design, there are certain screen reader configurations that will make your experience easier.

Note that NVDA instructions are given below. Consult the JAWS documentation or other screen reader documentation to find the corresponding settings.

On Buttondown, elements and links often appear very close together so disabling screen layout will aid in keeping track of these elements.

To disable screen layout in NVDA,

1. Press and hold Control, NVDA modifier key, insert or caps lock, then press B, to bring up the browse mode settings dialog box.
2. Tab to the, use screen layout, checkbox. Uncheck it by pressing space, then tab to the okay button and press okay.

If you wish to quickly navigate this list, press X, to navigate via checkboxes.

The dashboard has links that lead to settings and other important account pages. The navigation menu doesn't have a navigation landmark, so the best way to navigate is to use your links key commands to jump through the links at the top of the page.

In the settings overview, you will find a wide array of edit boxes and buttons to control settings. The best way to navigate the settings screen is to enable forms mode, disabling browse mode, before navigating. There is one heading at the top of the page.

When toggling switch state, the screen reader will report the current state. For example, if your screen reader says, enable tracking, switch on, this means that the button is set to, on, or enabled. To change the setting, press space while in forms mode and focused on the control.

When you are finished making changes, The save button is above the settings heading. To the left of the settings button is a reset button, just in case you want to revert changes.

Buttondown follows the compliance checklist as outlined by HHS.
