Risk rating, key findings, and the bottom-line recommendation for the Laradon Foundation Board.
Laradon's website is approximately 25% compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA. Five independent AI audits identified 43 unique accessibility barriers across 12 pages, including 10 critical issues that completely block access for users with disabilities.
| # | Finding | Severity | Who It Hurts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lorem ipsum placeholder text on homepage Events section | Critical | IDD users (cognitive trap), donors/funders (credibility) |
| 2 | No skip navigation — 100+ tab stops per page ("keystroke tax") | Critical | Motor impairments, keyboard/switch users |
| 3 | Keyboard-inaccessible dropdown menus (hover-only) | Critical | All keyboard users — blocks access to every sub-page |
| 4 | 4 broken contact page links (CEO email, wrong person, wrong number) | Critical | All users seeking services — families hit dead ends |
| 5 | Countdown timer with no pause control | Major | Seizure disorder (medical risk), autism ("visual shout"), anxiety |
| 6 | 0 of 4 core tasks completable by keyboard | Critical | All AT users — donate, find services, apply, buy tickets all fail |
| 7 | No accessibility statement; no feedback mechanism | Critical | Legal exposure — no "safety valve" for frustrated users |
| 8 | EveryAction donation form unverifiable; VPAT gap | High Risk | All donors using AT — donation revenue at risk |
| 9 | Accessibility overlay present (litigation target) | Major | All users — overlays don't fix issues; attract lawsuits |
| 10 | Broken fundraising counter shows "$16" instead of $2.14M | Major | All donors — undermines confidence |
