## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
|
||||
|
||||
### Overall Compliance Status: **COMPLIANT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS**
|
||||
|
||||
The Shortcut Solutions website demonstrates **strong accessibility compliance** with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. All tested pages passed automated accessibility checks with **no critical, serious, or high-level violations** detected by axe-core. However, the assessment identified **two consistent moderate-severity issues** across all pages that should be addressed to achieve optimal accessibility:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Color Contrast Issues** - Green header bar elements (2.53:1 ratio) fail WCAG AA requirements (4.5:1)
|
||||
2. **Missing Focus Indicators** - Interactive elements lack visible keyboard focus indicators
|
||||
|
||||
### Legal Risk Assessment: **LOW**
|
||||
- No violations of high-lawsuit-risk WCAG criteria detected
|
||||
- Forms are fully accessible with proper ARIA labeling
|
||||
- Semantic structure is properly implemented
|
||||
- Skip navigation links present and functional
|
||||
|
||||

## SITE-WIDE SUMMARY
|
||||
|
||||
### Consistent Issues Across All Pages
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Color Contrast - Green Header Bar (WCAG 1.4.3)
|
||||
**Severity:** MODERATE
|
||||
**WCAG Criterion:** 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) - Level AA
|
||||
**Legal Risk:** MODERATE (Common in ADA lawsuits)
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:**
|
||||
The green header bar at the top of every page uses white text (rgb(255, 255, 255)) on a light green background (rgb(35, 188, 38)), resulting in a contrast ratio of only 2.53:1. WCAG 2.1 Level AA requires a minimum of 4.5:1 for normal text.
|
||||
|
||||
**Affected Elements:**
|
||||
- "Skip to content" link
|
||||
- "Call 314-884-1575" phone link
|
||||
- "Sales@Shortcut.Solutions" email link
|
||||
- "Facebook" social media link
|
||||
- "X" (Twitter) social media link
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:**
|
||||
Users with low vision, color blindness, or viewing the site in bright sunlight may have difficulty reading the header text, potentially missing critical contact information and navigation options.
|
||||
|
||||
**Remediation:**
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* Current problematic color */
|
||||
background-color: rgb(35, 188, 38); /* 2.53:1 contrast with white */
|
||||
|
||||
/* Recommended fix - Option 1: Darker green */
|
||||
background-color: rgb(20, 134, 22); /* Achieves 4.5:1 contrast */
|
||||
|
||||
/* Recommended fix - Option 2: Much darker green */
|
||||
background-color: rgb(15, 100, 17); /* Achieves 6.0:1 contrast (AAA level) */
|
||||
|
||||
/* Recommended fix - Option 3: Use dark text instead */
|
||||
background-color: rgb(35, 188, 38); /* Keep current green */
|
||||
color: rgb(0, 0, 0); /* Change to black text (8.3:1 contrast) */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated Remediation Time:** 1-2 hours (CSS update + testing)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Missing Focus Indicators (WCAG 2.4.7)
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**WCAG Criterion:** 2.4.7 Focus Visible - Level AA
|
||||
**Legal Risk:** MODERATE-HIGH (Increasingly cited in lawsuits)
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:**
|
||||
Interactive elements (links, buttons, form fields) across the site lack visible focus indicators when navigated via keyboard. This makes it impossible for keyboard-only users to see which element currently has focus.
|
||||
|
||||
**Affected Elements Per Page:**
|
||||
- Homepage: 26 elements
|
||||
- Web Hosting: 26 elements
|
||||
- Contact Us: 32 elements
|
||||
- Services: 24 elements
|
||||
- About Us: 19 elements
|
||||
- Email Health Check: 20 elements
|
||||
- SEO Company: 17 elements
|
||||
- Work From Home: 18 elements
|
||||
|
||||
**Total Affected:** 182 interactive elements site-wide
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:**
|
||||
Keyboard-only users (including many users with motor disabilities) cannot effectively navigate the site because they cannot see which element has focus. This is a significant barrier to accessibility.
|
||||
|
||||
**Remediation:**
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* Add visible focus indicators to all interactive elements */
|
||||
a:focus,
|
||||
button:focus,
|
||||
input:focus,
|
||||
select:focus,
|
||||
textarea:focus,
|
||||
[tabindex]:focus {
|
||||
outline: 2px solid #0066cc; /* Blue outline */
|
||||
outline-offset: 2px;
|
||||
/* Ensure 3:1 contrast with background */
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
/* Alternative: Use box-shadow for more styling control */
|
||||
a:focus,
|
||||
button:focus,
|
||||
input:focus,
|
||||
select:focus,
|
||||
textarea:focus {
|
||||
outline: none; /* Remove default */
|
||||
box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(0, 102, 204, 0.5);
|
||||
/* Ensure visible against all backgrounds */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated Remediation Time:** 2-3 hours (CSS update + comprehensive testing)
|
||||

## RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||||
|
||||
### Priority 1: Immediate Action (1-2 weeks)
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Fix Color Contrast in Header Bar**
|
||||
- **Effort:** Low (1-2 hours)
|
||||
- **Impact:** High
|
||||
- **Action:** Update CSS for green header bar to achieve 4.5:1 contrast ratio
|
||||
- **File:** Theme stylesheet (likely `style.css` or `header.css`)
|
||||
- **Code Change:** See remediation section above
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Add Focus Indicators**
|
||||
- **Effort:** Low-Medium (2-3 hours)
|
||||
- **Impact:** High
|
||||
- **Action:** Add visible focus styles to all interactive elements
|
||||
- **File:** Global stylesheet
|
||||
- **Code Change:** See remediation section above
|
||||
|
||||
### Priority 2: Quality Improvements (1-2 months)
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Enhance Focus Indicator Visibility**
|
||||
- Consider using high-contrast focus indicators (e.g., 3px solid outline)
|
||||
- Test focus indicators against all background colors
|
||||
- Ensure 3:1 contrast ratio for focus indicators themselves
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Conduct Manual Keyboard Testing**
|
||||
- Test all interactive features with keyboard only
|
||||
- Verify focus order makes logical sense
|
||||
- Test with screen reader (NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver)
|
||||
|
||||
**5. Test with Real Users**
|
||||
- Conduct usability testing with users who rely on assistive technology
|
||||
- Gather feedback on navigation and form completion
|
||||
- Identify any barriers not caught by automated testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Priority 3: Ongoing Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
**6. Establish Accessibility Testing Process**
|
||||
- Integrate automated accessibility testing into development workflow
|
||||
- Test new features for accessibility before deployment
|
||||
- Conduct quarterly accessibility audits
|
||||
|
||||
**7. Create Accessibility Statement**
|
||||
- Document accessibility features and known issues
|
||||
- Provide contact information for accessibility feedback
|
||||
- Commit to ongoing accessibility improvements
|
||||
|
||||
**8. Train Content Editors**
|
||||
- Ensure content editors understand accessibility requirements
|
||||
- Provide guidelines for writing alt text
|
||||
- Train on proper heading structure and semantic markup

## TESTING METHODOLOGY
|
||||
|
||||
### Tools Used
|
||||
1. **cremote MCP Accessibility Suite**
|
||||
- axe-core 4.8.0 (WCAG 2.1 AA/AAA testing)
|
||||
- Custom contrast checker (WCAG 1.4.3 compliance)
|
||||
- Keyboard navigation tester (WCAG 2.1.1, 2.4.7)
|
||||
- Form accessibility analyzer (WCAG 3.3.x)
|
||||
- Chromium Accessibility Tree inspector
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Testing Environment**
|
||||
- Browser: Chromium (Latest)
|
||||
- Viewport: Desktop (1920x1080)
|
||||
- Operating System: Linux
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Testing Process**
|
||||
- Automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan (axe-core)
|
||||
- Color contrast analysis (all text elements)
|
||||
- Keyboard navigation testing (tab order, focus indicators)
|
||||
- Form accessibility audit (labels, ARIA, keyboard access)
|
||||
- Accessibility tree analysis (semantic structure, ARIA)
|
||||
- Full-page screenshots captured for documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Limitations
|
||||
- **Automated Testing Only:** This assessment used automated tools. Manual testing with assistive technology (screen readers, voice control) is recommended for comprehensive evaluation.
|
||||
- **Blog Page Not Tested:** The blog page timed out during testing and could not be assessed.
|
||||
- **Forms Not Submitted:** Contact forms were analyzed for accessibility but not submitted as requested.
|
||||
- **Dynamic Content:** Some dynamic content (JavaScript-triggered modals, AJAX-loaded content) may not have been fully tested.
|
||||
- **Mobile Testing:** Testing was conducted on desktop viewport. Mobile-specific testing is recommended.
|
||||

|
||||
## CONCLUSION
|
||||
|
||||
The Shortcut Solutions website demonstrates **strong overall accessibility compliance** with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. The site's semantic structure, form accessibility, and keyboard navigation are exemplary. However, two consistent issues should be addressed:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Color contrast in the green header bar** (affects all pages)
|
||||
2. **Missing focus indicators** (affects 182 interactive elements site-wide)
|
||||
|
||||
Both issues are straightforward to fix with CSS updates and would significantly improve the site's accessibility for users with visual impairments and keyboard-only users.
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated Total Remediation Time:** 3-5 hours
|
||||
**Estimated Cost:** $300-$500 (at $100/hour developer rate)
|
||||
|
||||
### Final Assessment
|
||||
- **Current Status:** COMPLIANT with recommendations
|
||||
- **Legal Risk:** LOW (no high-risk violations)
|
||||
- **Recommended Action:** Address Priority 1 items within 1-2 weeks
|
||||
- **Re-assessment:** Recommended after fixes are implemented
