Automated accessibility evidence

179 findings across 4 captured pages, evaluated at desktop and mobile viewports.

Not a conformance claim. Automated rules find only a subset of WCAG failures. Keyboard, screen-reader, cognitive, reflow, and task-based manual testing remain required.

Template families

Deterministic structural groups help consultants choose representative pages without hiding the full inventory.

About this sample

A defined scope, with visible limits

All four declared Citylights demonstration pages are included. This is a bounded example, not a crawl of w3c.org.

Captured from W3C's published 2012 demonstration archive. Styles and images were embedded locally; source scripts were removed. Axe checked the initial page at desktop and mobile widths. Screenshots show the viewport, not the full page. Forms and dynamic flows were not tested.

The intentionally inaccessible “before” version makes the findings easy to explore. Findings are counted once per rule and page element across the two viewports.

Source and reuse

Citylights is part of the W3C/WAI Before and After Demonstration, published in 2012. Source material is reused under the W3C Software and Document License. This example is independently prepared by OnChange; W3C does not endorse it.

© 2012 W3C (MIT, ERCIM, Keio). Archived pages have embedded assets and disabled scripts, navigation, and forms.
