Most Common Errors
The most common error we see is using RED in a text window which isn’t ADA compliant. A fix for that is using the (color) Hex code:

instead. This is a red that is compliant
The second most common error is not putting in Alternative Text for any image. Be sure you add ALT text on all current and past images
