02 · Start here

These findings combine the highest severity and broadest reach detected during this assessment.

  1. Critical

    Embedded frames lack descriptive titles

    WCAG 4.1.2 (A) · 1 inspected page · 1 instance
    Why this matters

    An <iframe> has no title, so its purpose is not announced to assistive technology.

    Recommended action

    Add a concise title attribute that describes the frame's actual purpose — for example "Store locator" for a location search or "Promotional campaign" for a marketing embed. The affected frame loads https://forms.monday.com/forms/embed/c3e3d5fc4e2ff3e4aa7598aeb7f4ef0f?r=use1, which can help identify its purpose. Avoid generic values such as "Embedded content", "iframe", or "frame".

    View technical evidence →
  2. High

    Interactive controls are not keyboard-accessible

    WCAG 2.1.1 (A) · 5 inspected pages · 10 instances
    Why this matters

    A control that responds to clicks (a clickable element or an ARIA widget) cannot receive keyboard focus, so keyboard and switch users cannot operate it.

    Recommended action

    Use a native <button>/<a>, or add tabindex="0" plus keyboard event handlers (Enter/Space) to custom controls.

    View technical evidence →
  3. High

    Modal dialog does not trap keyboard focus

    WCAG 2.4.3 (A) · 5 inspected pages · 5 instances
    Why this matters

    An open modal leaves the content behind it keyboard-focusable, so keyboard and screen reader users can tab out of the dialog into hidden page content.

    Recommended action

    While a modal is open, confine focus to the dialog and mark the rest of the page inert (or aria-hidden). Restore focus on close.

    View technical evidence →
  4. High

    Interactive controls must not be nested

    WCAG 4.1.2 (A) · 5 inspected pages · 5 instances
    Why this matters

    Interactive controls must not be nested

    Recommended action

    Review the affected element and correct the reported accessibility issue.

    View technical evidence →
  5. Medium

    ARIA attributes have invalid values

    WCAG 4.1.2 (A) · 5 inspected pages · 25 instances
    Why this matters

    ARIA attributes reference ids that do not exist or hold invalid values, breaking the accessibility tree.

    Recommended action

    Correct ARIA attribute values and ensure referenced ids exist in the DOM.

Touch targets are too small

WCAG 2.5.8 (AA)10 instances5 inspected pages

Interactive controls are smaller than the 24×24px minimum target size, making them hard to activate reliably by touch.

Why it matters

Interactive controls are smaller than the 24×24px minimum target size, making them hard to activate reliably by touch.

Recommended correction

Increase this <button>'s rendered area to at least 24 × 24 CSS pixels, or provide sufficient spacing from adjacent targets. Prefer increasing padding on the existing control (for example the button or link) rather than adding a separate non-interactive wrapper.

Hidden elements can still receive keyboard focus

WCAG 2.4.3 (A)16 instances3 inspected pages

An element is not visible but remains in the tab order, so a sighted keyboard user loses track of focus when it lands there.

Why it matters

An element is not visible but remains in the tab order, so a sighted keyboard user loses track of focus when it lands there.

Recommended correction

Keep this element out of the tab order while its containing region is hidden — remove it from focus (for example tabindex="-1"), or apply the inert attribute to the hidden container where supported. Restore normal focusability when the region becomes visible.

06 · About this assessment

Evolize inspects publicly accessible website pages using automated browser-based testing and deterministic accessibility rules. Automated testing can identify many reproducible technical issues but cannot determine complete WCAG or legal compliance.

  • Publicly accessible surfaces only — no credentials, private systems, or source-code access.
  • Findings apply to the pages and states successfully inspected; automated analysis may not detect every issue.
  • Results reflect the site at the scan date and may have changed since.

Evolize provides digital risk intelligence and does not provide legal advice, certify compliance, or guarantee that litigation will not occur. Methodology · Security · Example assessment
