ADA Compliance Issues That need to be resolved
Dan Cella
We're having issues with (scummy) law firms suing retailors in the area who's website are not in ADA Title 3 compliance. These are the areas I can't resolve myself with the current site builder. Please resolve these so that all of your subscribers are working with the best set of tools to meet compliance. Thanks.
• Add an alt-text field to Image blocks in the website builder — manually-placed images (banners, page graphics, blog images) have no way to set alt text, unlike inventory images. This is the top source of "missing alt text" errors.
• Fix linked image tiles so each has an accessible name — when a tile wraps an image in a link, scanners flag it as "linked image missing alternative text" even when inventory alt exists, because the link's accessible name is empty. This is template-level.
• Add semantic landmark regions to website templates — ship <header>, <nav>, <main>, and <footer> (or ARIA roles) by default so pages stop failing "no page regions."
• Add a "Skip to main content" link and a single <h1> per page to the default templates.
• Add bulk alt-text editing/override for inventory images so galleries can refine auto-generated alt text at scale.

• Can not add or modify alt text for "installation images" in the Exhibition section of the website.
