Citylights sample report
https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/before/home.html
A clear starting point for an accessibility audit.
How we describe complexity
Simple
No forms, media, embedded tools or interactive components were recorded. Mostly reading and navigation.
Moderate
Some extra checks: a form, table, media player, embedded tool or interactive control. One to three complexity points.
Complex
Several interaction types or multiple forms. Four or more complexity points, or at least two forms.
Pages and templates
Each URL, its likely shared layout and the features that add review work.
| Page and URL | Template | Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome to CityLights! [Inaccessible Home Page] https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/before/home.html | Home / News | Moderate |
| Welcome to CityLights! [Inaccessible News Page] https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/before/news.html | Home / News | Moderate |
| Welcome to CityLights! [Inaccessible Survey Page] https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/before/survey.html | Unique page | Moderate |
| Welcome to CityLights! [Inaccessible Tickets Page] https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/before/tickets.html | Unique page | Moderate |
Ideal audit scope
4 recommended pages: 2 unique pages + two samples from each of 1 repeated templates.

Content still needs its own review
Two samples help review the shared layout. Content-level issues still need checking across the remaining pages: image alternatives, headings, link text, labels and instructions, tables, captions, documents and content clarity. Include complete user journeys, logged-in areas and hidden states separately.
Third-party tools to include
No supported integrations were identified in the inspected markup.
Capture notes
4 of 4 pages preserved. Discovery: complete. 0 failed, 0 blocked, 0 excluded. 0 non-page resource links ignored during discovery.
Private, unlinked and unavailable content needs a separate scope decision. Automated evidence is not a WCAG conformance claim. Keyboard, screen-reader and complete task testing remain required.
About this sample
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.
