Critical Issues (High Priority)

Insufficient Color Contrast

WCAG 1.4.3

Text contrast ratio of 2.1:1 falls below the required 4.5:1 standard, making content difficult to read for users with visual impairments.

Location: Navigation menu, button labels

Fix: Change text color from #888888 to #333333 or darker

Missing Alt Text for Images

WCAG 1.1.1

15 images lack alternative text, preventing screen reader users from understanding visual content.

Location: Hero section, product gallery

Fix: Add descriptive alt="..." attributes to all img tags

Keyboard Navigation Blocked

WCAG 2.1.1

Dropdown menus and modal dialogs cannot be accessed using keyboard-only navigation.

Location: Main navigation, contact form modal

Fix: Add tabindex and keyboard event handlers for Enter and Space keys

Medium Priority Issues

Improper Heading Structure

WCAG 1.3.1

Heading hierarchy skips from H1 to H3, missing H2 elements that help screen readers navigate content structure.

Fix: Restructure headings to follow proper H1 → H2 → H3 hierarchy

Missing Form Labels

WCAG 1.3.1

Contact form inputs lack proper labels, making it difficult for screen readers to identify field purposes.

Fix: Add <label> elements or aria-label attributes to all form inputs

Low Priority Issues

Link Context Enhancement

WCAG 2.4.4

Generic "Read More" and "Click Here" links lack descriptive context for screen reader users.

Fix: Replace with descriptive link text like "Read more about our services"
