Accessibility report for avenue.com
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on June 11, 2026.
Under the ADA in the U.S. — and the European Accessibility Act in the EU — business websites must be accessible. avenue.com was checked against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and 11 types of barrier were flagged.
On this page, the most frequent barrier is "A button's visible text doesn't match the description it announces to screen readers" — found on 7 elements. In total the scan flagged 26 issues across 11 categories of WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA, and the law across the EU under the European Accessibility Act. These barriers block screen-reader, keyboard-only, and low-vision users — and every one of them is fixable. Here's how.
The barriers on this page — and the fixes
An accessibility rule failed on this page.
WCAG 1.3.1 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Some users — particularly those using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or who have low vision or motor disabilities — may have trouble using this part of the page.
How to fix it: Share the technical rule ID with your developer. They can look up the full fix at https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe.
Some buttons have no description that screen readers can announce.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Visual users see an icon (a heart, a trash can, an X), but screen-reader users hear only 'button' — they don't know if it'll favorite a post, delete it, or close a dialog. This is a critical accessibility blocker and a top lawsuit driver.
How to fix it: Every button needs a text label. If you can't put text inside the button (icon-only design), in your platform's button settings look for an 'Aria label' or 'Screen reader text' field — fill it with what the button does ('Close', 'Add to cart', 'Open menu').

An iframe (embedded content) has no title.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen readers announce frame titles when entering them. Without one, users hear 'frame' with no context.
How to fix it: If using a third-party embed (YouTube, Vimeo, Stripe), most platforms set the title automatically. If yours doesn't, look for a 'Title' or 'Description' field on the embed block.
A button's visible text doesn't match the description it announces to screen readers.
WCAG 2.5.3 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: A user dictating 'click Submit' to voice-control software may see 'Submit' on screen but the announce-name is something else, so the voice command fails.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'aria-label should start with or fully contain the visible button text'.
Fix these to meet the legal standard — at no cost

Links inside paragraphs are distinguishable from the surrounding text by color alone.
WCAG 1.4.1 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects low-vision and colorblind users
Why it matters: If a user is colorblind or sees in grayscale, they can't tell which words are clickable. WCAG requires another visual cue (underline, bold, icon) in addition to color.
How to fix it: Add an underline to links inside paragraphs. In most theme editors there's a 'link style' setting — turn underlines back on. The underline is the standard convention; it's also more discoverable for everyone.

Heading levels skip — for example, an H2 jumps directly to an H4 with no H3 between them.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by heading levels. Skipped levels suggest missing content and break the page's outline. Confusing for everyone.
How to fix it: In your editor, find the headings that skip levels and either bump them up to the right level (H4 → H3 if no H2 exists between) or insert the missing level. Headings should follow a logical outline like a document outline.
Some content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside).
Affects keyboard-only users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by these regions. Content outside any region can be missed when skimming.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'wrap orphaned page content in semantic landmark elements (<main>, <aside>, <nav>) so it's reachable via landmark nav'.
This is an automated scan and catches a portion of accessibility barriers; full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance also requires manual and assistive-technology testing. See our methodology for what we do and don't claim.
