Angela,

I tested you site using Worldspace FireEyes and found the following a11y issues:

1) There are no visible focus styles for the keyboard focusable anchor
tags that toggle the accordion open (example <a href="#">
eCommerce</a>)
2) There is no language set for the page
3) There are no alt texts on your images in the content (but this may
be because it is not real content)
4) The color contrast of your h1 on the page is below the WCAG 2 AA
threshold of 3:1 for text of that size (contrast ratio is 2.32:1)

On the plus side, the page passed all the dynamic content analysis
rule in FireEyes so it looks like a screen reader user will be able to
access it without difficulty.

These tests took me about 5 minutes to administer with FireEyes which
is free and can be downloaded from here:
