Common Issues
When you test templates with automate accessibility tools, you will see the most common issues describe below –
Empty links
Contrast errors
Suspicious link text
Redundant link
Image map area missing
Non script elements
Suspicious alternative text and so on.
Empty Links
As just a template all links are not connect to real webpages. It’ll be easy fix when you develop your website.
Contract Errors
It can be probably fix by following your client’s brand color guideline.
Suspicious Links Text
Most links are dummy. If you put real one, it could be solve.
Redundant Links
It cause by same links on same page. For example : Home
Image map area missing
You can fix by setting makers in Bricks map element.
Non Script elements
We maybe or may not be avoid this one cause by third parties scripts or plugins.
Suspicious Alternative Text
You can avoid that problem by putting real descriptive alternative text.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title
Especially I get this message from custom build footer Nav item . I just name aria-label value as “footer”. When you develop your website, you can change it to unique name to nave tag aria-label. See – Picture for better understanding.
These are knowing issues by testing with available free sources. But maybe more. For further investigation, consult with your expert.
