hi, so my newest site is specificly for people with disabilities www.fredomswings.org
after finishing the site it was brought to my attention that it failed compliance tests
i used a few of these tests here
https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/
the results confused me however
(and some wanted 31,000 dollars for a detailed report!!)
it seemed from what i could barely understand that the main issues were with the menu (using function calls or something) and the main site search
i know you guys are extremely busy right now but if you could run some tests and add it to your todo list to fix any accessibility issues
i don't think the issues that exist are severe or will have a huge impact
i did contact these guys https://www.access-works.knowbility.org/
they offer a great free service but the testing setup was confusing to me too
they are more about working with a developer team then individual web designers
thanks
would really appreciate it if you could look into this
i would attempt it myself but i think its more then simple template edits
i don't think its so non compliant that theres risk of lawsuite or anything ..its fairly close i believe, but there are 2 bigger issues and a couple minor ones

There's a ton of stuff on that page i have no idea about.

If you can let us know specific things that you feel are missing, and are not template related, let us know and we can check them out.

Thanks!

those are all compliance testers
i think there was something in the menu and main page search that were the biggest failure issues
i will try to get you a lil more detailed report in the next few days
