What we found
What is wrong and who it affects, most serious first.
-
10
10 links in running text stand out only by their color, so people with color blindness or low vision may not see that they are links.
- Color blindness
- Low vision
-
3
3 controls show no sign when a keyboard user moves to them, so they can’t tell where they are on the page.
- Keyboard users
- Low vision
-
2
2 parts of the page are hidden from screen readers but can still be reached with the Tab key, so a blind visitor lands on things their screen reader won’t describe.
- Screen readers
- Keyboard users
-
1
1 button or link is so small, or so close to another, that people with shaky hands may tap the wrong thing.
- Limited hand movement
-
1
1 control sits inside another, such as a button inside a link, so screen readers may skip one of them and keyboard users may not reach it.

The full report is for the town’s own staff. It adds:
- The 20 pages we checked, by name
- Where each problem is, with a screenshot

- A new check any day, once something is fixed
The keyboard test
We pressed Tab 41 times through the homepage, as someone who can’t use a mouse would. What it found is shown here and is not yet counted in the score.
- Passed: “Skip to content” works. Keyboard users can jump past the menu.
- Problem: 3 controls show no sign of focus. Keyboard users may not be able to tell where they are.
Questions about this page
Does this mean the town is breaking the law?
No. This is an automated check against WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard the ADA Title II rule sets for state and local governments. Automated checks find many problems but not all, and only a full review can say whether a site meets the rule.
How often is this page updated?
Every three months, in January, April, July and October. Once its staff claim this page, they can also scan the site again, once a day; the new result shows here like our regular check, marked as checked at their request. The date at the top shows the latest check, and the score can go up as problems are fixed.
How can the town respond?
Staff with an email address ending in @berwynheightsmd.gov can claim this page to set its status for residents, see where each problem is, and scan the site again. Think a result is wrong? Tell us and we will check it again.
