Image links without alternative text

10 images used as links have no alt attribute, making their destination impossible to identify for screen reader users.

 

WCAG : WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text Content (A) · 2.4.4 Link Purpose (A)

 

Colour contrast — 38 errors

38 elements have very low contrast ratios — twice as many as Douxo. Affected elements include CTA buttons (.btn-primary, .a.text-secondary-2), the announcement bar, text in .bg-primary-1 sections and the orange badge (#FF8200 on light background). The minimum ratio of 4.5:1 is not met.

 

WCAG : WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (AA)

 

Links without discernible name and frame without title

Several links (a.flex.items-center, a.absolute.top-0, generic <a> elements) have no accessible name. The video iframe (iframe.video-iframe.absolute) also lacks a title attribute, making it unreadable to screen reader users.

 

WCAG : WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose (A) · 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A)

 

Prohibited ARIA attribute and missing H1

A <s> element uses a prohibited ARIA attribute (s.ml-2.leading-[16px].font-normal), which may produce unexpected behaviour with assistive technologies. Additionally, the page has no H1 heading, depriving screen reader users of the main structural entry point.

 

WCAG : WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A) · 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A)

 

Videos without captions or transcript

The page contains 2 HTML5 videos and 1 YouTube video without verified accessible captions or text transcripts, excluding deaf or hard-of-hearing users.

 

WCAG : WCAG 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded) (A) · 1.2.3 Audio Description (A)
