In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found some issues on the Aspen K12 website that might affect visitors with disabilities. For example, some interactive controls are nested, which can confuse screen readers used by people who are blind or have low vision. To improve accessibility, fix the nested controls first. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is needed to ensure the site is usable for everyone under ADA Title II.

Findings

3 issue types found on the homepage

Each item is one failing rule; the count shows how many elements on the page trigger it. Severity follows axe-core impact levels.

#1MajorWCAG 4.1.22 elementsRule details ↗

Interactive controls are nested

A button inside a link (or similar) can't be reliably operated.

Who it affects

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

First fix

Un-nest the controls; a card should have one link, not a link wrapping buttons.

#2MajorWCAG 2.4.41 elementRule details ↗

Links have no readable text

Screen readers announce these links as just 'link', so people can't tell where they go. Common with icon-only links and 'read more' buttons.

Who it affects

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

First fix

Give every link visible text, or add an aria-label describing the destination.

#3MajorWCAG 2.5.81 elementRule details ↗

Touch targets are too small

Small links and buttons are hard to tap for people with motor impairments.

Who it affects

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

First fix

Make clickable targets at least 24×24 CSS pixels or add spacing.

Severity guide

How to read the counts

Critical

Blocks a task outright for some visitors (for example an image-only flyer with no text, or a form field with no label).

Major

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

Minor

Reduces clarity or consistency (heading order, landmarks, touch-target size).

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.
