+# ADA Level AA Accessibility Assessment Report
+## Vision Leadership Organization (visionleadership.org)
+
+**Assessment Date:** October 3, 2025  
+**Assessment Standard:** WCAG 2.1 Level AA  
+**Testing Tools:** Chromium with cremotemcp MCP tools, axe-core v4.8.0  
+**Assessor:** AI Agent using enhanced_chromium_ada_checklist.md methodology
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This comprehensive accessibility assessment of visionleadership.org reveals **CRITICAL and SERIOUS violations** of WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across all tested pages. The site has significant accessibility barriers that prevent users with disabilities from accessing content and functionality.
+
+### Overall Compliance Status: ❌ **NON-COMPLIANT**
+
+**Critical Issues Found:**
+- 1 CRITICAL violation (affects all pages)
+- 4 SERIOUS violations (repeated across pages)
+- 31 HIGH SEVERITY keyboard navigation issues
+- 85+ color contrast failures
+
+**Legal Risk Assessment:** **HIGH** - Multiple violations of high-lawsuit-risk criteria including:
+- Disabled zoom/scaling (WCAG 1.4.4 - CRITICAL)
+- Insufficient color contrast (WCAG 1.4.3 - SERIOUS)
+- Missing accessible names for links (WCAG 2.4.4, 4.1.2 - SERIOUS)
+- Missing focus indicators (WCAG 2.4.7 - HIGH)
+
+---
+
+## Site-Wide Issues (All Pages)
+
+### 1. CRITICAL: Viewport Zoom Disabled (WCAG 1.4.4)
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**WCAG:** 1.4.4 Resize Text (Level AA)  
+**Status:** ❌ FAIL
+
+**Issue:**
+```html
+<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0">
+```
+
+The viewport meta tag explicitly disables user scaling with `user-scalable=0` and `maximum-scale=1.0`. This prevents users with low vision from zooming the page on mobile devices.
+
+**Affected Users:** Users with low vision, elderly users  
+**Remediation:** Remove `user-scalable=0` and `maximum-scale=1.0` from viewport meta tag:
+```html
+<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. SERIOUS: Color Contrast Failures (WCAG 1.4.3)
+**Impact:** SERIOUS  
+**WCAG:** 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) - Level AA  
+**Status:** ❌ FAIL
+
+**Violations Found:**
+
+#### Footer Text (All Pages)
+- **Contrast Ratio:** 2.70:1 (requires 4.5:1)
+- **Colors:** #666666 on #242424
+- **Location:** Footer paragraph text
+- **Affected Elements:** 31+ instances
+
+#### Submit Button (Contact Page)
+- **Contrast Ratio:** 2.71:1 (requires 4.5:1)
+- **Colors:** #ffffff on #17a8e3
+- **Location:** Contact form submit button
+- **Text:** "Send Message"
+
+#### Navigation Links
+- **Contrast Ratio:** 2.75:1 (requires 4.5:1)
+- **Colors:** #2ea3f2 on #ffffff
+- **Location:** "About" and other navigation links
+
+**Remediation:**
+- Footer text: Change to #999999 or lighter for 4.5:1 ratio
+- Submit button: Use darker blue (#0d7db8) or add text shadow
+- Links: Use darker blue (#1a7db8) for sufficient contrast
+
+---
+
+### 3. SERIOUS: Links Without Accessible Names (WCAG 2.4.4, 4.1.2)
+**Impact:** SERIOUS  
+**WCAG:** 2.4.4 Link Purpose, 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value  
+**Status:** ❌ FAIL
+
+**Homepage Violations:**
+- 2 carousel navigation arrows lack accessible names (Previous/Next buttons)
+- Hidden text not properly exposed to screen readers
+
+**Contact Page Violations:**
+- 3 image lightbox links have empty title attributes
+- Links to images lack descriptive text for screen readers
+
+**Remediation:**
+```html
+<!-- Before -->
+<a href="image.jpg" class="et_pb_lightbox_image" title=""></a>
+
+<!-- After -->
+<a href="image.jpg" class="et_pb_lightbox_image" title="View larger image of contact information" aria-label="View larger image of contact information"></a>
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. SERIOUS: Links Not Distinguished from Text (WCAG 1.4.1)
+**Impact:** SERIOUS  
+**WCAG:** 1.4.1 Use of Color (Level A)  
+**Status:** ❌ FAIL
+
+**Issue:** Footer link to "Shortcut Solutions St. Louis" lacks sufficient contrast AND no underline
+- **Link contrast with surrounding text:** 1.87:1 (requires 3:1)
+- **Colors:** #2ea3f2 link on #d5d5d5 surrounding text
+- **Missing:** No underline or other non-color distinction
+
+**Remediation:**
+- Add underline to links: `text-decoration: underline;`
+- OR increase contrast to 3:1 minimum
+- OR add bold weight to links
+
+---
+
+### 5. HIGH: Missing Focus Indicators (WCAG 2.4.7)
+**Impact:** HIGH  
+**WCAG:** 2.4.7 Focus Visible (Level AA)  
+**Status:** ❌ FAIL
+
