Critical Fixes (Implement Immediately)
Fix #1: Increase Form Label Contrast
Issue: Insufficient color contrast on form labels (2.6:1, requires 4.5:1)
Location: src/components/ContactForm.tsx:45-52
Current Code:
<label htmlFor="name" className="block text-gray-400 text-sm mb-1">
Name
</label>
<input
id="name"
type="text"
className="w-full px-4 py-2 border border-gray-300 rounded"
placeholder="Enter your name"
/>
Recommended Fix:
<label htmlFor="name" className="block text-gray-700 text-sm font-medium mb-1">
Name
</label>
<input
id="name"
type="text"
className="w-full px-4 py-2 border border-gray-300 rounded"
placeholder="Enter your name"
aria-required="true"
/>
Changes Made:
text-gray-400→text-gray-700(changes color from #AAAAAA to #374151)- Added
font-mediumfor improved readability - Added
aria-required="true"for accessibility
Reasoning:
text-gray-700(#374151) on white (#FFFFFF) = 9.7:1 contrast ratio ✅- Exceeds WCAG 2.1 AA requirement (4.5:1)
font-mediumimproves readability without affecting contrastaria-requiredhelps screen reader users identify required fields
Testing:
- Visual check: Labels should be clearly readable
- Contrast tool: Verify 9.7:1 ratio at https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
- Accessibility audit: Run axe-core, verify no contrast violations
- Screen reader: Test with NVDA/VoiceOver, verify required field announcement
Impact: Fixes critical WCAG 2.1 violation, improves usability for low-vision users
Fix #2: Responsive Button Text Sizing
Issue: Button text truncated on mobile (shows "Send Mes...")
Location: src/components/ContactForm.tsx:78
Current Code:
<button
type="submit"
className="w-full px-6 py-3 text-xl font-bold bg-blue-600 text-white rounded"
>
Send Message
</button>
Recommended Fix:
<button
type="submit"
className="w-full px-4 py-2 text-sm sm:text-base md:text-lg font-bold bg-blue-600 text-white rounded whitespace-nowrap overflow-visible"
>
Send Message
</button>
Changes Made:
px-6→px-4(reduced padding to allow more text space)py-3→py-2(slightly reduced vertical padding)text-xl→text-sm sm:text-base md:text-lg(responsive text sizing)- Added
whitespace-nowrap(prevent text wrapping) - Added
overflow-visible(ensure text isn't hidden)
Reasoning:
- Mobile (375px): 14px font (text-sm) fits comfortably
- Tablet (768px): 16px font (text-base) for better readability
- Desktop (1280px): 18px font (text-lg) for prominence
- Reduced padding provides more space for text
whitespace-nowrapprevents awkward line breaks
Testing:
- Mobile (375px viewport): Verify full text "Send Message" visible
- Tablet (768px): Check font size scales appropriately
- Desktop (1280px): Ensure button looks proportional
- Accessibility: Verify button is tappable (min 44x44px)
Impact: Fixes broken user experience on mobile, ensures button purpose is clear
High Priority Fixes
Fix #3: Prevent Navigation Overlap on Tablet
Issue: Nav items overlap on tablet breakpoint (768px)
Location: src/components/Header.tsx:32-45
Current Code:
<nav className="flex space-x-6">
<a href="/" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600">
Home
</a>
<a href="/about" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600">
About
</a>
<a href="/contact" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600">
Contact
</a>
<a href="/blog" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600">
Blog
</a>
</nav>
Recommended Fix:
<nav className="flex flex-col md:flex-row md:space-x-6 space-y-2 md:space-y-0">
<a href="/" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600 py-2 md:py-0">
Home
</a>
<a href="/about" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600 py-2 md:py-0">
About
</a>
<a href="/contact" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600 py-2 md:py-0">
Contact
</a>
<a href="/blog" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600 py-2 md:py-0">
Blog
</a>
</nav>
Alternative Fix (if horizontal menu required):
<nav className="flex space-x-3 md:space-x-6 text-sm md:text-base">
<a href="/" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600 whitespace-nowrap">
Home
</a>
<a href="/about" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600 whitespace-nowrap">
About
</a>
<a href="/contact" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600 whitespace-nowrap">
Contact
</a>
<a href="/blog" className="text-gray-700 hover:text-blue-600 whitespace-nowrap">
Blog
</a>
</nav>
Reasoning:
- Option 1: Stack links vertically on tablet/mobile, horizontal on desktop
- More reliable, works with any link text length
- Better for mobile usability
- Option 2: Reduce spacing and font size on smaller screens
- Maintains horizontal layout
- Risk: May still overflow with longer link text
Recommendation: Use Option 1 for reliability
Testing:
- Tablet (768px): Verify links stack vertically or have adequate spacing
- Desktop (1024px+): Verify links display horizontally
- Check all breakpoints: 640px, 768px, 1024px, 1280px
- Test with longer link text (e.g., "Our Services" instead of "Blog")
Impact: Fixes navigation usability on tablet devices
Fix #4: Prevent Hero Image Distortion
Issue: Hero background image stretched on mobile viewport
Location: src/components/Hero.tsx:15-25
Current Code:
<div
className="hero-section h-96 bg-cover bg-center"
style={{
backgroundImage: "url('/images/hero-bg.jpg')",
}}
>
<div className="container mx-auto h-full flex items-center">
<h1 className="text-4xl font-bold text-white">Welcome to Our Site</h1>
</div>
</div>
Recommended Fix:
<div className="hero-section h-96 relative overflow-hidden">
<img
src="/images/hero-bg.jpg"
alt=""
className="absolute inset-0 w-full h-full object-cover object-center"
aria-hidden="true"
/>
<div className="container mx-auto h-full flex items-center relative z-10">
<h1 className="text-4xl font-bold text-white drop-shadow-lg">
Welcome to Our Site
</h1>
</div>
</div>
Changes Made:
- Replaced CSS background image with
<img>tag - Added
object-coverto maintain aspect ratio while filling container - Added
object-centerfor centered focal point - Made container
relativewith imageabsolutefor layering - Added
drop-shadow-lgto h1 for better text visibility - Added
aria-hidden="true"since image is decorative
Reasoning:
object-coverscales image proportionally to fill container- Crops excess rather than stretching to fit
- Maintains image quality and recognizability
- Works consistently across all viewport sizes
Testing:
- Mobile (375px): Verify image not stretched, focal point visible
- Tablet (768px): Check image scales appropriately
- Desktop (1280px): Ensure full image coverage
- Test with different aspect ratio images (16:9, 4:3, 1:1)
Impact: Professional appearance maintained across all devices
Fix #5: Add Visible Error Messages
Issue: Form validation errors indicated only by red border (no text)
Location: src/components/ContactForm.tsx:55-95
Current Code:
<input
id="email"
type="email"
className={`w-full px-4 py-2 border rounded ${
errors.email ? 'border-red-500' : 'border-gray-300'
}`}
/>
Recommended Fix:
<div className="mb-4">
<label htmlFor="email" className="block text-gray-700 text-sm font-medium mb-1">
Email Address <span className="text-red-600" aria-label="required">*</span>
</label>
<input
id="email"
type="email"
className={`w-full px-4 py-2 border rounded ${
errors.email
? 'border-red-500 focus:ring-red-500'
: 'border-gray-300 focus:ring-blue-500'
}`}
aria-invalid={errors.email ? 'true' : 'false'}
aria-describedby={errors.email ? 'email-error' : undefined}
/>
{errors.email && (
<div
id="email-error"
className="mt-1 text-sm text-red-600 flex items-center"
role="alert"
>
<svg
className="w-4 h-4 mr-1 flex-shrink-0"
fill="currentColor"
viewBox="0 0 20 20"
aria-hidden="true"
>
<path
fillRule="evenodd"
d="M10 18a8 8 0 100-16 8 8 0 000 16zM8.707 7.293a1 1 0 00-1.414 1.414L8.586 10l-1.293 1.293a1 1 0 101.414 1.414L10 11.414l1.293 1.293a1 1 0 001.414-1.414L11.414 10l1.293-1.293a1 1 0 00-1.414-1.414L10 8.586 8.707 7.293z"
clipRule="evenodd"
/>
</svg>
{errors.email}
</div>
)}
</div>
Changes Made:
- Added required indicator (*) with
aria-label - Added
aria-invalidattribute for screen readers - Added
aria-describedbylinking to error message - Added visible error message below input
- Added error icon for visual reinforcement
- Added
role="alert"to announce errors to screen readers
Reasoning:
- Error text provides specific guidance (not just "there's an error")
- Icon + color + text = multiple indicators (not color alone)
- ARIA attributes ensure screen reader compatibility
- Error message ID allows programmatic association with input
Testing:
- Visual: Submit empty form, verify error text appears below inputs
- Screen reader: Verify error messages are announced
- Keyboard: Tab to input, verify error is read aloud
- Contrast: Verify error text meets 4.5:1 ratio (red-600 on white)
Impact: Makes form errors accessible to all users, improves error recovery
Medium Priority Fixes
Fix #6: Standardize Feature Card Heights
Issue: Feature cards have inconsistent heights
Location: src/components/FeatureSection.tsx:28-42
Current Code:
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
{features.map((feature) => (
<div key={feature.id} className="bg-white p-6 rounded shadow">
<h3 className="text-xl font-bold mb-2">{feature.title}</h3>
<p className="text-gray-600">{feature.description}</p>
</div>
))}
</div>
Recommended Fix:
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 items-start">
{features.map((feature) => (
<div key={feature.id} className="bg-white p-6 rounded shadow flex flex-col h-full">
<h3 className="text-xl font-bold mb-2">{feature.title}</h3>
<p className="text-gray-600 flex-grow">{feature.description}</p>
{feature.link && (
<a
href={feature.link}
className="mt-4 text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-700 font-medium"
>
Learn more →
</a>
)}
</div>
))}
</div>
Changes Made:
- Added
items-startto grid (align cards to top) - Added
flex flex-col h-fullto card (flexbox layout) - Added
flex-growto description (fills available space) - Positioned link at bottom with
mt-4(consistent spacing)
Reasoning:
h-fullmakes all cards same height (tallest card determines height)flex-growon description pushes "Learn more" link to bottom- Creates visual consistency across grid
- Maintains readability while looking polished
Testing:
- Desktop (3 columns): Verify all cards same height
- Test with varying description lengths
- Ensure "Learn more" links align at bottom
- Mobile (1 column): Verify cards still look good stacked
Impact: More professional, polished appearance
Fix #7: Increase Footer Link Spacing on Mobile
Issue: Footer links only 4-6px apart on mobile, difficult to tap
Location: src/components/Footer.tsx:45-58
Current Code:
<div className="flex flex-col space-y-1">
<a href="/about" className="text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900">
About
</a>
<a href="/contact" className="text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900">
Contact
</a>
<a href="/privacy" className="text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900">
Privacy Policy
</a>
</div>
Recommended Fix:
<div className="flex flex-col space-y-3">
<a
href="/about"
className="text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900 py-2 -my-2 inline-block"
>
About
</a>
<a
href="/contact"
className="text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900 py-2 -my-2 inline-block"
>
Contact
</a>
<a
href="/privacy"
className="text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900 py-2 -my-2 inline-block"
>
Privacy Policy
</a>
</div>
Changes Made:
space-y-1→space-y-3(increased spacing from ~4px to ~12px)- Added
py-2(8px vertical padding, expanding tap area) - Added
-my-2(negative margin to maintain visual spacing) - Added
inline-block(allow vertical padding on inline element)
Reasoning:
space-y-3provides minimum 8px spacing (WCAG recommendation)py-2creates 44px minimum tap target height (8px padding + ~28px text)- Negative margin prevents excessive visual spacing
- Easier to tap accurately on mobile devices
Testing:
- Mobile (375px): Verify 44x44px minimum tap target
- Test tapping each link with finger (not stylus)
- Ensure no accidental mis-taps to adjacent links
- Check visual spacing looks appropriate
Impact: Improved mobile usability, reduces user frustration
Low Priority Fixes
Fix #8: Improve Heading Size Hierarchy
Issue: H2 and H3 appear same size, reducing visual hierarchy
Location: src/styles/globals.css:15-25 OR Tailwind config
Current Code (CSS):
h2, h3 {
font-size: 1.25rem; /* 20px */
font-weight: 700;
}
Recommended Fix (CSS):
h2 {
font-size: 1.5rem; /* 24px */
font-weight: 700;
margin-bottom: 0.75rem;
}
h3 {
font-size: 1.25rem; /* 20px */
font-weight: 600;
margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
}
OR (Tailwind utility classes):
Replace text-xl on H2s with text-2xl, keep text-xl on H3s:
<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-3">Section Heading</h2>
<h3 className="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">Subsection Heading</h3>
Reasoning:
- H2 (24px) → H3 (20px) creates clear hierarchy
- Progressively lighter font weights reinforce hierarchy
- Proper heading sizes aid content scanning
- Improves semantic structure perception
Testing:
- Visual check: H1 > H2 > H3 size progression
- Compare before/after screenshots
- Test with screen reader: Verify heading navigation still works
- Check across different pages for consistency
Impact: Improved content scanability and professional appearance
