Accessibility report for catalinarug.com
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on June 25, 2026.
Web accessibility is a legal requirement, not an optional extra. An automated scan of catalinarug.com found 12 types of barrier, measured against WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA.
On this page, the most frequent barrier is "Some buttons or links are too small to tap reliably on touch screens" — found on 27 elements. In total the scan flagged 84 issues across 12 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.
What we found, and how to fix it
An element has a screen-reader hint that doesn't apply to its role.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Inappropriate hints can confuse or break screen-reader announcements.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'this aria-* attribute isn't allowed on this role; remove it or change the role'.
Image-based form buttons (submit buttons that are images) have no description.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Without a description, screen-reader users can't tell what the button does — they hear 'button, submit.png' or just 'graphic'.
How to fix it: Replace image submit buttons with regular text buttons (most platforms let you do this in form settings), OR if you must use an image, ensure it has alt text describing the action ('Subscribe', 'Send message', 'Submit form').

Some text on this page is too light to read against its background.
WCAG 1.4.3 (Level AA) EN 301 549 Affects low-vision and colorblind users
Why it matters: People with low vision, older eyes, or anyone reading on a sunny phone screen can't make out faint text. Color blindness affects about 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women. Insufficient contrast is the #1 most-common cause of accessibility lawsuits — every Domino's-style ADA suit cites it.
How to fix it: If you use a website builder (Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, WordPress with a theme), open your site styles or theme color settings and pick darker text colors or lighter backgrounds. Aim for very dark text on white, or very light text on dark. Free check at webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker. If you have a developer, ask them to ensure all text meets WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).
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'.
An interactive element (link, button) is inside another interactive element.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects keyboard-only users
Why it matters: Keyboard and screen-reader users can't reliably reach the inner element. Common in 'card-as-link' designs where a button sits inside a clickable card.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'avoid putting buttons inside links or links inside buttons; use a single interactive element with internal helpers'.
Some buttons or links are too small to tap reliably on touch screens.
WCAG 2.5.8 (Level AA) Affects low-vision and colorblind users
Why it matters: WCAG 2.2 requires touch targets to be at least 24×24 pixels. Small targets are a problem for users with hand tremors, large fingers, or motor disabilities. They're also frustrating for everyone.
How to fix it: In your editor, increase padding around small icon buttons. If your developer is involved, ask them to ensure all interactive elements have minimum 24×24 CSS pixels of clickable area.
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.

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.
There are multiple footer regions on the page when there should be one.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Same as duplicate banner — confusing landmark navigation.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'only one element should have role=contentinfo or be a top-level <footer>; remove duplicates'.

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.

Some images have alt text that duplicates nearby visible text.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users hear the same content twice — the surrounding text and then the alt text. Annoying, not blocking. Lower-priority fix.
How to fix it: Find images where the caption or nearby paragraph already says what the image shows, and either change the alt text to add new info or set the alt to empty (so the screen reader skips it as decorative).
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.
