My site is showing many different alerts and features, but not so many errors. There are very low contrast errors that are present on The Village of Mount Kisco site. The contrast tool shows that the colors used on the site are blue and white. I do see there there is a broken skip link on the site on the home page right about the village crest. The target for the link does not exist or the link is not keyboard accessible. I see that there are 12 broken same page links alerts, 27 device dependent event handler alerts, 66 Tabindex alerts, and 37 very small text. I think that if some of these were fixed the webpage would be much easier to work with and the viewer would have a much easier time finding exactly what they needed. The usability of this site needs to be fixed, I think that there should not be that many alerts. Normal and Large text passed and the contrast ratio is 8.57.1

  1. The small text alert indicates something that could be really frustrating for a user who doesn’t see well. Imagine if you are an elderly person trying to find out information about your water bill. Even if you do know how to change the magnification of your web browser, you’re going to be really frustrated (especially if you’re already frustrated about your water bill).
