In plain English
The scan found one major issue on the Northfield website, where an embedded frame lacks a title, which can cause confusion for screen reader users. This means visitors who rely on assistive technology may struggle to understand the frame's content. To improve accessibility, adding a title to the frame should be the first step. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, 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.
Embedded maps, calendars and videos are announced as 'frame' with no description.
Who it affects
Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
First fix
Add a title attribute to each <iframe> (for example title="Google Map of the district office").
Severity guide
Blocks a task outright for some visitors (for example an image-only flyer with no text, or a form field with no label).
Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
Reduces clarity or consistency (heading order, landmarks, touch-target size).
