In plain English
The scan found one major issue with text contrast on the City of Geneva's website, which may cause difficulty for visitors with low vision. This means some text may be hard to read for people who have trouble seeing. To improve accessibility, fix the text contrast issue first. Automated scans like this one catch many problems, but not all, so further review is recommended to ensure equal access for all visitors under ADA Title II.
Findings
Each item is one failing rule; the count shows how many elements on the page trigger it. Severity follows axe-core impact levels.
Light grey text on white, or text over photos, is hard or impossible to read for people with low vision or color blindness, and for anyone outdoors on a phone.
Who it affects
Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
First fix
Use a darker text color or lighter background so the contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1 (3:1 for large text).
Severity guide

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
Reduces clarity or consistency (heading order, landmarks, touch-target size).
