What we found

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

76
76 buttons have no name, so a blind visitor’s screen reader says just “button”, with no clue to what they do.

377
Text in 377 places is too faint against its background, so people with low vision, or anyone reading a phone in sunlight, may struggle to read it.
- Low vision
- Color blindness
131
131 controls show no sign when a keyboard user moves to them, so they can’t tell where they are on the page.

4 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.

1 page has to be scrolled sideways on a narrow phone screen, so people who enlarge text must scroll back and forth to read each line.
- Low vision
1
1 embedded section, such as a map, video or form from another site, has no title, so a blind visitor’s screen reader can’t say what it is.

The keyboard test

We pressed Tab 71 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: 65 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 @wytheville.org 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.
