What we found

What is wrong and who it affects, most serious first.

20
20 buttons have no name, so a blind visitor’s screen reader says just “button”, with no clue to what they do.

360
360 buttons or links are so small, or so close to others, that people with shaky hands may tap the wrong thing.

Text in 26 places is too faint against its background, so people with low vision, or anyone reading a phone in sunlight, may struggle to read it.

23 images have no description, so a blind visitor’s screen reader says only “image” or reads out file names.

20 pages don’t say what language they are in, so screen readers may read them aloud with the wrong pronunciation.

The keyboard test

We pressed Tab 132 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.

Problem: 6 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 county 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 county respond?

Staff with an email address ending in @lancova.com 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.
