[games_access] Making Websites and Web Content Marked for Proper Accessibility especially for screen readers

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
That website is OK, it is a little messy and like you said, the sharing
buttons are not accessible. (BTW, where do you get the sharing buttons
from?)
But I think you would still benefit from a copy and paste. For example,
what is "sssssssss"?
Thanks,
