Summary
This Success Criterion requires that your website can adapt to different screen sizes, orientations, and resolutions. Content must not become hidden or hard to see when viewed horizontally or vertically. Users should enjoy the full functionality no matter how they prefer to use their device.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Content must display the way you choose
Portrait or landscape, your right to use
Some websites lock their view in place
Expecting you to rotate in space
But when your device is fixed and bound
To wheelchair arms, can’t move around
Both orientations must be supported
No restrictions, no views distorted
One-three-four is clear in its aim
Display freedom is the name of the game
CHORUS:
Orientation freedom! Don’t lock me in your frame
Orientation freedom! All positions aren’t the same
Some need portrait, some need landscape
Let us choose our own escape
Orientation freedom! Let the content flow
VERSE 2:
Piano applications may need their space
Bank check deposits locked in place
Projector slides, TV displays
Virtual reality in specific ways
These exceptions are essential, yes
But most content must pass the test
Low vision users change their view
To make text larger, see it through
Mounted devices cannot be turned
This crucial lesson must be learned
CHORUS:
Orientation freedom! Don’t lock me in your frame
Orientation freedom! All positions aren’t the same
Some need portrait, some need landscape
Let us choose our own escape
Orientation freedom! Let the content flow
OUTRO:
Don’t force me to rotate my screen
Don’t tell me how things should be seen
My device, my choice, my way
Orientation freedom here to stay
Orientation freedom!
