What it runs on
The site served a page identifying Unidentified. That matters more than it sounds: across the whole survey, failure tracks the platform far more closely than it tracks the size of the government. A defect in a shared template is not something one town can fix alone — and it is not something one town caused.
What was found
- Images must have alternative text — 5 instances (critical)
- Links must have discernible text — 5 instances (serious)
- Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds — 1 instance (serious)
- Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation — 1 instance (serious)
- Frames must have an accessible name — 1 instance (serious)
- <html> element must have a lang attribute — 1 instance (serious)
Most of these are fixable without redesigning anything: colour contrast, missing labels, links with no discernible text.
What this does not show
- Homepage only. One page was tested. This site may pass its homepage and fail everywhere behind it.
- Automated only. Automated testing catches roughly a third of real accessibility problems. It cannot judge whether alt text is meaningful, whether a form works with a screen reader, or whether a keyboard user can escape a menu. Passing every automated check is not compliance.
- This is a floor, not a verdict, and not a legal opinion.
