Critical Issues (P0)
1. Insufficient Color Contrast on Form Labels
Severity: Critical
Category: Accessibility
Viewport: All viewports
Screenshot: screenshots/current/contact-form-initial-2025-11-01T16-28-32.png
Description: Form input labels use light gray (#AAAAAA) on white background (#FFFFFF), resulting in a contrast ratio of only 2.6:1. WCAG 2.1 AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text.
User Impact: Users with low vision or color blindness cannot read form labels, making the contact form unusable for accessibility-dependent users. Fails WCAG 2.1 criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum).
Visual Evidence: In the screenshot, the "Name", "Email", and "Message" labels appear very faint and difficult to read against the white background.
Affected Elements:
- Name label
- Email label
- Message label
Recommended Fix: See fix-recommendations.md #1
2. Button Text Truncated on Mobile Viewport
Severity: Critical
Category: Layout / Responsive
Viewport: Mobile (375x667)
Screenshot: screenshots/current/contact-form-filled-mobile-2025-11-01T16-29-15.png
Description: The "Send Message" button text is cut off mid-word on mobile viewport, displaying "Send Mes..." due to fixed width and large font size.
User Impact: Users cannot see the full button text, creating confusion about the button's purpose and reducing trust in the interface.
Visual Evidence: The submit button shows truncated text with an ellipsis, indicating the button width is insufficient for the text content at the current font size.
Recommended Fix: See fix-recommendations.md #2
High Priority Issues (P1)
3. Navigation Menu Items Overlap on Tablet Viewport
Severity: High
Category: Layout
Viewport: Tablet (768x1024)
Screenshot: screenshots/current/homepage-responsive-tablet-2025-11-01T16-27-45.png
Description: Navigation menu items in the header overlap each other at tablet breakpoint (768px), causing "About" and "Contact" links to partially obscure each other.
User Impact: Users cannot click on navigation links reliably, potentially clicking the wrong link or missing links entirely.
Visual Evidence: Screenshot shows "About" and "Contact" link text overlapping in the header navigation bar.
Recommended Fix: See fix-recommendations.md #3
4. Hero Section Image Stretched on Mobile
Severity: High
Category: Responsive / Layout
Viewport: Mobile (375x667)
Screenshot: screenshots/current/homepage-responsive-mobile-2025-11-01T16-27-52.png
Description: Hero section background image appears stretched and distorted on mobile viewport. The 16:9 image is forced into a narrow vertical space, causing visible distortion.
User Impact: Unprofessional appearance reduces user trust and brand perception. Image content may be unrecognizable when distorted.
Visual Evidence: The hero image shows obvious stretching, with circular elements appearing oval-shaped and text in the image appearing compressed vertically.
Recommended Fix: See fix-recommendations.md #4
5. Missing Error State Indication
Severity: High
Category: Accessibility / UX
Viewport: All viewports
Screenshot: screenshots/current/contact-form-validation-errors-2025-11-01T16-29-45.png
Description: Form validation errors are indicated only by a red border around inputs. No error text is visible, and there's no icon or other non-color indicator.
User Impact: Users relying on screen readers won't hear error messages. Color-blind users may not notice the red border. Error messages are essential for understanding what went wrong.
Visual Evidence: Screenshot shows inputs with red borders but no visible error text below them explaining what the error is.
Recommended Fix: See fix-recommendations.md #5
Medium Priority Issues (P2)
6. Inconsistent Card Heights in Feature Section
Severity: Medium
Category: Layout
Viewport: Desktop (1280x720)
Screenshot: screenshots/current/homepage-initial-load-2025-11-01T16-27-18.png
Description: Feature cards have varying heights due to different content lengths. The grid layout doesn't maintain consistent card heights, creating a jagged appearance.
User Impact: Visually inconsistent and less professional. Makes the page feel unpolished.
Visual Evidence: Three feature cards visible - first card is noticeably taller than the second, and third is somewhere in between, creating uneven rows.
Recommended Fix: See fix-recommendations.md #6
7. Footer Links Too Close Together on Mobile
Severity: Medium
Category: Responsive / Touch Targets
Viewport: Mobile (375x667)
Screenshot: screenshots/current/homepage-responsive-mobile-2025-11-01T16-27-52.png
Description: Footer navigation links are spaced only 4-6px apart vertically on mobile, making them difficult to tap accurately. WCAG 2.1 recommends minimum 44x44px touch targets with 8px spacing.
User Impact: Users frequently mis-tap links, requiring multiple attempts to navigate. Particularly frustrating for users with motor impairments or large fingers.
Visual Evidence: Footer links appear very close together with minimal spacing between each link.
Recommended Fix: See fix-recommendations.md #7
Low Priority Issues (P3)
8. Heading Sizes Not Progressively Smaller
Severity: Low
Category: Typography / Visual Hierarchy
Viewport: All viewports
Screenshot: screenshots/current/about-page-loaded-2025-11-01T16-28-05.png
Description: H2 and H3 headings appear to be the same size (approximately 20px), reducing visual hierarchy and making it harder to scan content structure.
User Impact: Minor impact on content scanability. Users may not immediately recognize the content hierarchy.
Visual Evidence: Page title (H1) is clearly larger, but H2 section headings and H3 subsection headings are visually identical in size.
Recommended Fix: See fix-recommendations.md #8
