Sample accessibility report

# One component. Three clear repairs.

A local Halden Supply inquiry component, tested before and after correction. This is an original demonstration, with actual results from axe-core 4.13.0.

Checked 2026-09-15. Scope: two versions of one HTML component.

**3** Detected rule failures before

**0** Detected rule failures after

**1** Component reviewed

![Before repair: faint instructions, an unlabeled email field and an arrow-only submit button.](https://1968labs.com/assets/audit-before.png)

Before / Tested local fixture

![After repair: dark instructions, a visible email label and a button reading Request a quote.](https://1968labs.com/assets/audit-after.png)

After / Tested local fixture

label / Critical

## The email field needs a name.

A person using a screen reader needs to know what information to enter. The original field had no associated label.

### Before

```
<input id="email" type="email">
```

### After

```
<label for="email">Your email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" autocomplete="email">
```

### Retest result

The corrected input has the accessible name “Your email”. The label rule no longer fails.

button-name / Critical

## The button needs to say what it does.

The arrow was hidden from assistive technology and the button had no remaining accessible name.

### Before

```
<button><span aria-hidden="true">→</span></button>
```

### After

```
<button>Request a quote
  <span aria-hidden="true">→</span>
</button>
```

### Retest result

The corrected button exposes “Request a quote” as its accessible name. The button-name rule no longer fails.

color-contrast / Serious

## The instructions need stronger contrast.

Light gray instructions on white were hard to read. The text color was changed while keeping the layout intact.

### Before

```
color: #94948c;
background: #ffffff;
```

### After

```
color: #50504c;
background: #ffffff;
```

### Retest result

The darker instructions no longer fail the color-contrast rule in this fixture.

## What this establishes.

axe-core 4.13.0 detected three rule failures in the original component and none in the corrected version, using its WCAG 2 A/AA and WCAG 2.1 AA tags. The fixture, script and JSON results are maintained with this site.

This small example does not establish full website conformance. A real engagement identifies the pages, customer journeys, testing methods, remaining findings and work outside scope.

Further checks include keyboard use, error recovery and the experience with a screen reader. [W3C’s evaluation guidance](https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/) explains why automated testing is only part of the work.
