What each check means
- Links have a discernible name. Links have unique, descriptive text so users know where they go. Screen reader users cannot identify or interact with elements.
- Heading elements appear in a sequentially-descending order. Page headings follow a logical order without skipping levels. Keyboard users cannot efficiently navigate your site.
- Background and foreground colors have a sufficient contrast ratio. Text and background colors meet minimum contrast ratios. Users with low vision cannot read your text.
- Document has a main landmark. The page has exactly one main content area so screen readers can navigate to it. Screen reader users cannot skip directly to main content.
- Touch targets have sufficient size and spacing. Buttons and interactive elements are large enough to tap easily on touch screens. Users with motor disabilities struggle to tap small buttons.

ScanGov
About this ranking
About this data
ScanGov scans the homepage of each county government site on our county list in Alabama. Scores come from the checks in the ScanGov standards. Sites were scanned between 10/29/2026 and 10/29/2026. Each site's report shows its own scan date. A site counts as fully scanned when its homepage loaded and sent us its page content. Averages, grade shares, failure rates, and ranks use fully scanned sites only. We could not fully scan 2 sites. They did not respond, blocked the scanner, or sent no page content. They appear in the table without grades, with their scan status, and are left out of every figure. Grades follow the ScanGov grade scale. Rank follows the ScanGov ranking method. The full dataset, with every county's raw results, is in the ScanGov data repository.
