About The Museum of Broken Things

This site is designed to demonstrate a wide range of accessibility failures, for teaching and assessment purposes.

Site Behavior

This site is an example only. Do not enter real information!

The contents are made up
The site is static; no data is retained by a server
No real shipping address or payment processing occurs
Registration and sign-in is not processed by a server, but it does function locally
- i.e., whatever email and password you most recently specified during registration will then work on the Sign In page
No cookies are stored, despite what the home page might suggest
Local storage is used for simulated persistence (e.g., for sign-in and the gift shop cart)

Summary of failures

This section provides a breakdown of WCAG 2 and WCAG 3 failures, organized by sections of the site.

Home & Search

This section includes the home page and the search results page.

Error identification: Empty search results and misspellings do not throw an error.(**Do others agree?)
Text minimum: The text in the footer is lower contrast and smaller size.

Collections Page
