Alabama: website accessibility, measured
We measured public websites in Alabama in two ways: municipal and county sites with an automated keyboard-only walk, business sites with axe-core. The numbers below come from our open US study; the method and the raw data are public.
Municipal and county websites
204 sites, 789 pages measured. A keyboard-only user reached the goal with a visible focus ring and labelled fields on 165 of 789 pages — 20.9%.
Rank 45 of 50 states with at least 40 measured pages (a higher share is better).
Business websites
1,846 organizations with a website in the registry, 1,240 measured. axe-core found at least one critical violation on 482 sites (38.9%); 489 sites had no violations that axe can detect automatically; on average 8.0 violations per site.
Rank 43 of 51 states with at least 100 measured sites (a lower share of critical violations is better).
Deadlines
The US Department of Justice rule under ADA Title II requires state and local governments serving 50,000 people or more to meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027, and smaller governments by April 26, 2028.
Businesses open to the public fall under ADA Title III. It sets no compliance date — accessibility claims against business websites are possible at any time.
Automated checks find only part of accessibility problems. A clean result is not a certificate of compliance, and a violation found by a machine still needs a human look.
