ARIA includes eight Landmark roles, which are specific regions of the page identified according to their function. They are: application, banner, complementary (e.g., a sidebar), contentinfo (e.g., a footer), form, main, navigation, and search. By defining the Landmark role of a block of content (for example role="main" for the main content), screen reader users can quickly locate and jump to the section of the page that meets their needs. The accessible version of the AU Home Page uses ARIA Landmarks to mark the banner, main, navigation, form, and contentinfo sections of the page. The navigation menu additionally uses aria-label attribute to clearly communicate the function of the navigation menu (in this case, aria-label="Main menu"). This supplemental label is announced by screen readers and is especially helpful for distinguishing between navigation regions if there are more than one of these regions on a page.
