I took a look at the site and don't know what it's for. I hear turn on comment mode to collabirate with this prototype. I press enter on the on text, the comment section comes up and that's all I found. I'd highly recommend testing your website with NVDA. You can find out more here www.nvaccesss.org or if you have a mac, there's a screen reader built into it called Voiceover. If you can, coding the site by yourself would be a lot better than using a tool to do it for you. What is your site for? Is it for those of us who are blind, ( people who can see only light and shadows or nothing at all,) or visually impaired, (people who can see but not as well as someone who has full use of there vision?)

I'm sorry that it confused you! The way InVision works is that it uses JPEGs, so you can build hotspots to click on and build interactions, essentially giving you an idea of what your app or website will look like before you code it.
I was afraid this might happen with InVision, but there was no way for me to find out until I tried it. I tried to keep multiple groups in mind, with high contrast colors for the color blind, large text and lots of breathing space for low vision folks, and very explicit and minimal links for those using a screen reader.
Thank you so much, I will definitely take a look at what you've shown me.

That's not a problem. I'd recommend learning how to change the speech Synthesizer. Not many sighted people like the voice NVDA comes with.
If you're using windows 10 or 8, you can choose from SAPI voices and in windows 10 you can choos core 1 windows voices.
As for minimal links, that's not really needed in my oppinion, in fact, I think for this site the more links there might have been the easyer it may have been to understand.
I've noticed that the links don't have any labels atached to them.

It's a prototype; it's not going to work, as it's entirely image based. In the case of web access, what really matters is the code behind the website. It's possible to make accessible any website, from complicated things like gmail and facebook to simpler things like reddit, if the programmer who developed the website gave the screen reader the information it needs to work. The most common way to do this is $1. However, as a graphic designer, this is probably out of scope for you. It's something the developers/programmers you work with need to be familiar with.
