## What to fix

### Essential

#### Fail: Repeated parts look the same (C014.1)

- Domain: Visual communication
- Checks: Cards, buttons and list rows of one kind should share padding, radius, borders, shadow and type.
- Measured on /: 0 px largest difference
- Passes at: Matching component variants differ by at most 1 px
- Warning at: A measured spacing or size difference is between 2 and 4 px
- Fails at: A difference exceeds 4 px, or a compared style attribute differs
- Fix: Build each repeated element from one component or class and remove one-off overrides, so padding, radius, border, shadow and type match within 1 px.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(2)` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-1000.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(3)` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-1001.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(4)` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-1002.webp)

#### Fail: Nothing overlaps (C019.1)

- Domain: Visual communication
- Checks: Text and controls must not cover each other at desktop or phone widths.
- Measured on /: 59 confirmed overlapping pairs
- Passes at: No confirmed occlusion of painted text or a visible control
- Fails at: A painted box covers text or a control by at least 4 px on both axes and 10% of the smaller painted box
- Fix: Find what covers what at the width shown, then give the layout room: let text wrap, drop fixed heights and negative margins, or stack the items below a breakpoint.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(1) > a` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-1003.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(1) > a` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-1003.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(1) > a` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-1003.webp)

#### Fail: Current page is marked (C077.1)

- Domain: Information and findability
- Checks: The nav item for the page you're on should carry aria-current, once per navigation group.
- Measured on /news: 1 navigation group without a current marker
- Passes at: Each relevant navigation group identifies one current item
- Warning at: No current marker, but a distinct current item is visible
- Fails at: A relevant group has conflicting current markers or no identifiable current item
- Fix: Add aria-current="page" to the link for the current page, exactly once in each nav, and style that state so it is visible too.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > header > div > nav` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-1%2Fcrop-1440-1006.webp)

#### Fail: Same link text, same place (C078.3)

- Domain: Information and findability
- Checks: Links with the same text should lead to the same address.
- Measured on /: 4 link texts with two destinations
- Measured on /news: 2 link texts with two destinations
- Passes at: No identical link label points to conflicting destinations
- Warning at: One or two conflicting link-label groups
- Fails at: At least three conflicting link-label groups
- Fix: Give links to different places different words ("Team pricing", "Enterprise pricing"), or point links that share their text at one destination.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > header > div > nav > a:nth-of-type(2)` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-0.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > header > div > div > a:nth-of-type(1)` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-1004.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(1) > ul > li:nth-of-type(1) > a`
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > header > div > div > a:nth-of-type(1)` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-1%2Fcrop-1440-3.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > ul > li:nth-of-type(4) > ul > li:nth-of-type(1) > a` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-1%2Fcrop-1440-5.webp)

#### Fail: Images have alt text (C139.1)

- Domain: Inclusion and adaptation
- Checks: Every image needs alt text, or an empty alt if it is decoration.
- Measured on /: 2 images without alt text
- Measured on /news: 5 images without alt text
- Passes at: Informative images provide a usable text alternative
- Fails at: An informative image is missing its required text alternative
- Fix: Write alt text that says what the image shows or does. For decorative images use alt="", and aria-hidden="true" on decorative SVGs.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(4) > ul > li:nth-of-type(2) > a > svg`
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(6) > ul > li:nth-of-type(2) > a > svg`
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > ul > li:nth-of-type(2) > ul > li:nth-of-type(1) > a > svg` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-1%2Fcrop-1440-1008.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > ul > li:nth-of-type(2) > ul > li:nth-of-type(2) > a > svg` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-1%2Fcrop-1440-1009.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > ul > li:nth-of-type(2) > ul > li:nth-of-type(3) > a > svg` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-1%2Fcrop-1440-1010.webp)

#### Fail: Targets are big enough (C158)

- Domain: Inclusion and adaptation
- Checks: Buttons and links need a 24 × 24 px hit area, or enough space around them.
- Measured on /: 1 target too small
- Passes at: Targets meet the 24 px size or spacing requirement, or an exception
- Fails at: A target fails both the size and spacing conditions without an exception
- Fix: Give small controls at least 24 × 24 px of hit area with padding or min-width and min-height, or space them so their 24 px circles don't overlap.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(4) > ul > li:nth-of-type(2) > a`

#### Fail: Code order matches the screen (C168.1)

- Domain: Inclusion and adaptation
- Checks: Blocks should come in the same order in the markup as they appear on screen.
- Measured on /: 30 reordered blocks
- Passes at: Visual and DOM reading order agree within content regions
- Warning at: One or two reordered blocks outside sequential content
- Fails at: Order differs within instructions, or at least three blocks are reordered in one region
- Fix: Reorder the markup to match the layout instead of moving blocks with order, row-reverse or grid placement. This matters most in steps and instructions.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(2) > a > h3`
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(3) > a > h3`
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(4) > a > h3`

#### Warning: Controls are labelled on screen (C108.1)

- Domain: Functional and interaction support
- Checks: Fields need visible labels, and icon-only buttons should be few and use familiar icons.
- Measured on /: 2 controls without a visible label
- Measured on /news: 1 control without a visible label
- Passes at: Fields are visibly identified and standalone icon controls are clear
- Warning at: A nonstandard standalone icon control needs a label
- Fails at: A field has no visible label after the documented search-field exceptions
- Fix: Give every field a visible label, since placeholders vanish while typing. Add text to icon-only buttons, or keep them to familiar icons (search, close, menu) with an accessible name and a tooltip.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > footer > div > div > div:nth-of-type(1) > div > div > a:nth-of-type(2)`
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > header > div > div > a:nth-of-type(2)` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-0%2Fcrop-1440-1005.webp)
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > header > div > div > a:nth-of-type(2)` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-1%2Fcrop-1440-1007.webp)

#### Warning: Heading levels are in order (C167.2)

- Domain: Inclusion and adaptation
- Checks: A page needs one h1, headings that don't skip levels, and a main landmark.
- Measured on /: 1 outline issue
- Measured on /news: 1 outline issue
- Passes at: No heading-outline findings
- Warning at: One or more heading-outline findings; advisory in the fixed variant
- Fix: Use one h1, then h2 and h3 in order without skipping, and wrap the main content in a main element. Set sizes in CSS, not by picking a level.
- Elements:
  - 1440 px · `html > body > main > section:nth-of-type(2) > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(1) > a > h3`
  - 1440 px · `html` · [crop](https://is-aesthetic.com/api/v1/evidence?path=reports%2F7d4ed0ab-b74e-4c25-9411-fdc800556256%2Fpage-1%2Fcrop-1440-1011.webp)
