In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found some issues on the Hood River County website that might make it hard for visitors with disabilities to use. For example, some parts of the site may not be readable by screen readers, and buttons or links might be too small to tap on a phone. To improve accessibility, it's a good idea to start by fixing the critical issue, which is likely causing the most problems. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so it's also a good idea to have people with disabilities test the site.

What this grade does and does not cover

  • Covers: the public homepage only, loaded once in a desktop browser, tested with axe-core against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA rules (a superset of the WCAG 2.1 AA standard in the DOJ rule).
  • Does not cover: inner pages, PDFs and documents, logged-in portals, video captions, alt-text quality, keyboard usability of custom widgets, or anything that needs a human judgment.
  • A grade is a monitoring signal, not a legal assessment or certification. How we score.
