What It Means When a Summary Element Is Missing an Accessible Name — And Why It Matters for WCAG Level A Conformance
If your accessibility audit flagged a summary element missing an accessible name, you're looking at a WCAG Level A nonconformance — the highest-priority tier, covering the issues most likely to make your site completely unusable for users with disabilities. Here's what the failure actually means, which users it blocks, and what it takes to resolve it.
What Every Number on Your Accessibility Score Report Actually Means
An accessibility score report is more than a number — it's a map. But if you don't know what Level AA, WAI-ARIA, or accessibility best practices are actually testing, that map is hard to read. This guide walks through every major category on a typical accessibility report, in plain language, so you can understand your results and know exactly where to start.
An 83.3 Accessibility Score Is Actually Exceptional — Here's the Data to Prove It
An 83.3 accessibility score sounds like a solid B. But web accessibility isn't graded on that curve. With 95.9% of the top million websites failing WCAG standards outright and the private sector median Level AA score sitting at just 43 out of 100, a score in the 80s doesn't just pass — it leads. Here's the data behind why.
The DOJ Extended the ADA Title II Web Accessibility Deadline — Here's What Public Entities Actually Need to Do Now
If your organization has been watching the ADA Title II web accessibility deadline with a mixture of urgency and dread, there is some news that changes your timeline — but not your obligation. On April 20, 2026, the Department of Justice published an Interim Final Rule extending compliance deadlines by one year across the board. Public entities serving populations of 50,000 or more now have until April 26, 2027. Smaller entities and special district governments have until April 26, 2028. The technical standard has not changed — WCAG 2.1 Level AA is still what you need to meet. What has changed is how much time you have to get there. Here is what that actually means for your organization, what the extension does not protect you from, and how to use the additional runway productively.
