+
+## Site-Wide Issues and Patterns
+
+### 1. Navigation Menu Contrast (CRITICAL - Affects All Pages)
+
+**Issue:** Dropdown navigation menu items consistently fail WCAG AA contrast requirements across all tested pages.
+
+**Affected Elements:**
+- Primary navigation hover states
+- Dropdown menu items
+- Submenu text
+
+**Current State:**
+- White text on light gray: 1.12:1 (requires 4.5:1 for normal text, 3.0:1 for large text)
+- Gray text on black: 3.66:1 (requires 4.5:1)
+
+**Impact:** Users with low vision, color blindness, or viewing in bright sunlight cannot read navigation menu items.
+
+**Remediation:**
+```css
+/* Recommended CSS fixes */
+.navigation-menu-item {
+  color: #000000; /* Black text */
+  background-color: #FFFFFF; /* White background */
+  /* Provides 21:1 contrast ratio */
+}
+
+.navigation-menu-item:hover,
+.navigation-menu-item:focus {
+  color: #FFFFFF; /* White text */
+  background-color: #000000; /* Black background */
+  /* Provides 21:1 contrast ratio */
+}
+
+.dropdown-menu-item {
+  color: #FFFFFF; /* White text */
+  background-color: #333333; /* Dark gray background */
+  /* Provides 12.6:1 contrast ratio */
+}
+```
+
+**WCAG Criteria Violated:**
+- WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) - Level AA
+
+**Estimated Time:** 3-4 hours
+
+---
+
+### 2. Missing Keyboard Focus Indicators (CRITICAL - Affects All Pages)
+
+**Issue:** 100% of focusable interactive elements lack visible focus indicators, making keyboard navigation impossible for users who cannot use a mouse.
+
+**Affected Elements:**
+- Navigation links
+- Buttons
+- Form inputs
+- Interactive images
+- Video controls
+
+**Current State:** No visible outline, border, or background change when elements receive keyboard focus.
+
+**Impact:** Keyboard-only users (including many users with motor disabilities) cannot determine which element currently has focus, making the site effectively unusable.
+
+**Remediation:**
+```css
+/* Recommended CSS fixes */
+a:focus,
+button:focus,
+input:focus,
+select:focus,
+textarea:focus,
+[tabindex]:focus {
+  outline: 3px solid #0066CC; /* Blue outline */
+  outline-offset: 2px;
+  /* Provides clear visual indicator */
+}
+
+/* Alternative: Use box-shadow for more design flexibility */
+a:focus,
+button:focus {
+  outline: none; /* Remove default */
+  box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(0, 102, 204, 0.5);
+  /* Provides visible focus with design control */
+}
+```
+
+**WCAG Criteria Violated:**
+- WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible - Level AA
+- WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard - Level A (functional impact)
+
+**Estimated Time:** 6-8 hours
+
+---
+
+### 3. Missing Semantic Landmarks (HIGH - Affects All Pages)
+
+**Issue:** No HTML5 semantic landmarks (header, footer, main, nav) detected on any tested page.
+
+**Current State:** Pages use generic `<div>` elements without semantic meaning.
+
+**Impact:** Screen reader users cannot quickly navigate to major page sections, significantly increasing time and effort required to use the site.
+
+**Remediation:**
+```html
+<!-- Current structure (problematic) -->
+<div class="header">...</div>
+<div class="content">...</div>
+<div class="footer">...</div>
+
+<!-- Recommended structure -->
+<header role="banner">
+  <nav role="navigation" aria-label="Main navigation">
+    <!-- Navigation menu -->
+  </nav>
+</header>
+
+<main role="main">
+  <!-- Main page content -->
+</main>
+
+<footer role="contentinfo">
+  <!-- Footer content -->
+</footer>
+```
+
+**WCAG Criteria Violated:**
+- WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships - Level A
+- WCAG 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks - Level A (related)
+
+**Estimated Time:** 4-6 hours
+
+---
+
+### 4. Video Accessibility (CRITICAL - Homepage Only)
+
+**Issue:** Two videos on homepage lack captions and audio descriptions.
+
+**Current State:**
+- No `<track>` elements for captions
+- No audio description tracks
+- Videos autoplay without user controls
+- No pause/stop mechanism visible
+
+**Impact:** Deaf and hard-of-hearing users cannot access video content. This is a Level A violation and represents significant legal risk.
+
+**Remediation:**
+```html
+<!-- Add caption tracks to videos -->
+<video controls>
+  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
+  <track kind="captions"
+         src="captions-en.vtt"
+         srclang="en"
+         label="English"
+         default>
+  <track kind="descriptions"
+         src="descriptions-en.vtt"
+         srclang="en"
+         label="English Audio Descriptions">
+</video>
+```
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Create WebVTT caption files for all video content
+2. Add `<track>` elements to video players
+3. Add visible controls attribute
+4. Remove autoplay or add user controls
+5. Test caption display and synchronization
+
+**WCAG Criteria Violated:**
+- WCAG 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded) - Level A (CRITICAL)
+- WCAG 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) - Level AA
+- WCAG 1.4.2 Audio Control - Level A
+
+**Estimated Time:** 8-12 hours (including caption creation)
+
+---
+
+### 5. Text-in-Images Alt Text (MEDIUM - Homepage)
+
+**Issue:** Five images containing text have insufficient or missing alt text.
+
+**Current State:** Alt text does not convey the full text content visible in images.
+
+**Impact:** Screen reader users miss important textual information embedded in images.
+
+**Remediation:**
+
+**Service Images:**
+```html
+<!-- Current -->
+<img src="engineering-services.jpg" alt="hawk-epc-engineering-services">
+
+<!-- Recommended -->
+<img src="engineering-services.jpg"
+     alt="Engineering Services: Precision design that streamlines complex systems and supports scalable, long-term performance">
+```
+
+**Logo Images:**
+```html
+<!-- Current -->
+<img src="alpine-silica-logo.png" alt="">
+
+<!-- Recommended -->
+<img src="alpine-silica-logo.png" alt="Alpine Silica">
+```
+
+**WCAG Criteria Violated:**
+- WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text Content - Level A
+- WCAG 1.4.5 Images of Text - Level AA
+
+**Estimated Time:** 2-3 hours
+
+---
+
+### 6. Cross-Page Consistency Issues (MEDIUM - All Pages)
+
+**Issue:** Inconsistent navigation structure and missing landmarks across all pages.
+
+**Findings:**
+- Pages analyzed: 6
+- Common navigation links: 0 (inconsistent implementation)
+- Pages with proper landmarks: 0
+- Navigation consistency: FAIL
+
+**Current State:**
+- No standardized navigation structure detected
+- Missing header landmarks: All pages
+- Missing footer landmarks: All pages
+- Missing main landmarks: All pages
+- Missing navigation landmarks: All pages
+
+**Impact:** Screen reader users cannot rely on consistent navigation patterns, increasing cognitive load and navigation time.
+
+**Remediation:**
+1. Implement consistent navigation structure across all pages
+2. Add semantic HTML5 landmarks to all pages
+3. Ensure navigation appears in same order on every page
+4. Use consistent labels for same functionality
+
+**WCAG Criteria Violated:**
+- WCAG 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation - Level AA
+- WCAG 3.2.4 Consistent Identification - Level AA
+
+**Estimated Time:** 6-8 hours
+
+---
