Accessibility report for charlestonteagardens.com
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on June 11, 2026.
Web accessibility is a legal requirement, not an optional extra. An automated scan of charlestonteagardens.com found 9 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 content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside)" — found on 23 elements. In total the scan flagged 45 issues across 9 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
Some images on this page have no description for screen readers.
WCAG 1.1.1 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Blind and low-vision users rely on screen readers to read pages aloud. When an image has no description, the screen reader either skips it entirely or reads out the file name — useless. Missing alt text is the #2 lawsuit-magnet category.
How to fix it: In your site editor, click each image and look for an 'Alt text' or 'Image description' field. Write a short sentence describing what the image shows or what it links to. For purely decorative images (dividers, background flourishes), enter empty alt text or check a 'decorative' box if the platform offers one.
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).
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'.
Some links have no readable text — usually icon-only links.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users hear 'link' but not where the link goes. Users navigate by listening to a list of links — useless if every entry is just 'link, link, link'.
How to fix it: In your site editor, for icon-only links (social-media icons, navigation arrows), set an 'Aria label' or 'Title' field describing where it goes ('Follow us on Twitter', 'Next page').
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.
This page has no 'main content' region marked.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users press a single shortcut to jump to the main content, skipping menus and headers. Without a marked main region, they have to tab through everything.
How to fix it: Most modern platforms add this automatically. If yours doesn't, ask your developer to wrap the main content in a <main> element.
An accessibility rule failed on this page.
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 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'.
