🔴 CRITICAL ISSUES (Must Fix)

1. Dialog Component Missing Accessibility

File: apps/web/components/ui/dialog.tsx Issues:

• Missing role="dialog"
• Missing aria-modal="true"
• No focus trap
• No escape key handling
• Background not hidden from screen readers

Time to Fix: 2-3 hours | Priority: 1

Quick Fix Checklist:

• Add role="dialog" to dialog container
• Add aria-modal="true"
• Implement escape key listener
• Add aria-hidden="true" to backdrop
• Test with NVDA screen reader

---

2. Image Gallery Thumbnail Buttons Missing Labels

File: apps/web/components/listings/image-gallery.tsx:69-84 Issue: Thumbnail buttons lack aria-labels

Time to Fix: 15-30 minutes | Priority: 2

Quick Fix:

// Add this to each thumbnail button:
aria-label={`Select image ${index + 1}${img.caption ? ': ' + img.caption : ''}`}
aria-pressed={index === selectedIndex}

---

🟡 MAJOR ISSUES (Should Fix)

1. Admin Layout Header Missing Banner Role

File: apps/web/app/[locale]/(admin)/layout.tsx:134

Quick Fix:

// Change from:
<header className="sticky...">

// To:
<header role="banner" className="sticky...">

Time to Fix: 2 minutes | Priority: 3

---

2. Color Contrast Not Verified

Issue: CSS variables defined but contrast ratios not tested Impact: Potential WCAG 1.4.3 violation Time to Fix: 4-6 hours testing

Testing Checklist:

• Extract CSS variable values from globals.css
• Test with WebAIM Contrast Checker
• Verify 4.5:1 for normal text (WCAG AA)
• Verify 7:1 for AAA compliance
• Test in both light and dark modes

---

3. Landing Page Search Input Missing Visible Label

File: apps/web/app/[locale]/(public)/page.tsx:87-92

Quick Fix:

<div className="flex flex-col gap-1">
  <label htmlFor="search-input" className="sr-only">
    {t('landing.searchPlaceholder')}
  </label>
  <Input
    id="search-input"
    placeholder={t('landing.searchPlaceholder')}
    value={searchQuery}
    onChange={(e) => setSearchQuery(e.target.value)}
  />
</div>

Time to Fix: 30 minutes | Priority: 4

---

🟢 MINOR ISSUES (Nice to Have)

1. Redundant aria-labels on Visible Text

File: apps/web/app/[locale]/(dashboard)/layout.tsx:125 Issue: Links have aria-label when text is already visible

Recommendation: Remove redundant aria-labels - visible text is better for accessibility

---

✅ WHAT'S WORKING WELL

Authentication Forms

• ✅ All inputs have visible labels with <Label htmlFor="id">
• ✅ Error messages linked via aria-describedby
• ✅ Invalid state marked with aria-invalid
• ✅ Password toggle has proper aria-label
• Example: apps/web/app/[locale]/(auth)/login/page.tsx

Skip-to-Content Link

• ✅ Properly implemented with focus visibility
• ✅ Hidden by default, visible on focus
• ✅ Links to id="main-content"
• Example: apps/web/app/[locale]/layout.tsx:105-110

Navigation

• ✅ All navs have aria-label
• ✅ Mobile menu toggles have dynamic labels
• ✅ Icons properly hidden with aria-hidden="true"
• Examples: All layout files

Search & Filters

• ✅ Filter section has role="search"
• ✅ All selects have aria-label
• ✅ Range inputs properly labeled
• Example: apps/web/components/search/filter-bar.tsx

Image Gallery

• ✅ Previous/Next buttons have aria-labels
• ✅ Good semantic structure
• Example: apps/web/components/listings/image-gallery.tsx:47, 54

📋 TESTING CHECKLIST

Before Deployment

• Fix dialog component accessibility
• Add thumbnail button labels
• Add banner role to admin header
• Run Lighthouse accessibility audit (target: 90+)
• Test with NVDA screen reader
• Test keyboard navigation (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Escape)
• Verify color contrast ratios
• Test theme switching (light/dark mode)

Screen Reader Testing (NVDA)

• Login form: Can fill fields, hear error messages
• Navigation: Can navigate menus, understand current page
• Search: Can find and submit search form
• Dialogs: Can open, interact, close with Escape key
• Image gallery: Can select images, hear which is selected
• Mobile menu: Can open/close, toggle working properly

Keyboard Navigation

• Tab: Moves through all interactive elements in logical order
• Shift+Tab: Moves backward through elements
• Enter: Activates buttons/links/form submission
• Space: Activates buttons, toggles checkboxes
• Escape: Closes modals/menus
• Arrow keys: Works in dropdowns/carousels

🔍 Code Examples

Good ARIA Usage Example

// Good: Dynamic aria-label that updates based on state
<button
  aria-label={mobileMenuOpen ? t('nav.closeMenu') : t('nav.openMenu')}
  onClick={() => setMobileMenuOpen(!mobileMenuOpen)}
>
  {mobileMenuOpen ? <X /> : <Menu />}
</button>

Form Accessibility Example

// Good: Proper label association + error handling
<div className="space-y-2">
  <Label htmlFor="phone">{t('phone')}</Label>
  <Input
    id="phone"
    type="tel"
    aria-describedby={errors.phone ? 'phone-error' : undefined}
    aria-invalid={!!errors.phone}
    {...register('phone')}
  />
  {errors.phone && (
    <p id="phone-error" role="alert">{errors.phone.message}</p>
  )}
</div>

Search Form Example

// Good: Proper semantic role with labeled controls
<form role="search" aria-label={t('filters')}>
  <Select aria-label={t('allTransactions')}>
    {/* options */}
  </Select>
</form>
