Diagnose

What we were able to measure

We reviewed 11 of the 64 linked pages, at 1280 px and 390 px. Everything we say below comes from these captures, and each statement has the measurement it comes from underneath it.

Screenshot of the first screen of the page, as it looked when we read it, in a 1280×800 window.

Decide

What you can decide

Each one is a change you can make, with the measurement it comes from and how to check that it is done. In stage 3 we tell you in what order we would make them.

They are ordered by how they relate to what you chose, not by urgency. Which one you work on first is a decision this report does not make.

Related to what you asked for: Get someone arriving at this page for the first time to find and complete the main action the site offers them.

We could not check it fully.

  • Act

    Make these menus say whether they are open or closed

    Why we say this —We found 5 controls that open a menu and do not declare their state. It appears on 1 of the 11 pages we reviewed.

    The screen reader does not announce the state. Anyone who cannot see the screen is clicking blind.

    You will know it is done whenthose menus declare their state.

    It appears on 1 of the 11 pages we reviewed. · at both widths

    Where: /explore-consultants

    The measurement: We found no aria-expanded attribute on the control that opens it, nor anything that changes it from false to true when it opens.

    Confirm it in the menu code: it has aria-expanded, and its value changes when it is opened and closed

    What we do not know about this check: Partial. We checked links with no declared destination, but we did not follow any, so we do not detect a link that leads to a page that does not exist.

    The evidence

What gets in the way most

Computed accessibility

  • Let this page be zoomed in on a phone

    This site asks the browser not to allow zooming in on a phone.

    The viewport tag declares user-scalable=no y maximum-scale=1. Some browsers ignore that request and others respect it.

    Anyone who needs to zoom in to read cannot do it on their phone.

    It is on https://app.notion.com/login?from=marketing&pathname=%2F&tid=w_e2f277967626446aaa65ec54531df3e2.

    It is in the viewport tag, in maximum-scale=1 or in user-scalable=no.

What the evidence does not allow you to decide

Related to what you asked for: Get someone arriving at this page for the first time to find and complete the main action the site offers them.

We could not check it fully.

  • On 8 of the 11 pages we reviewed, the first screen has links and buttons that share the same background, text color and font size.

    Their appearance does not separate one action from another: someone arriving has no visual cue to choose by.

Act

What to do, and in what order

A single change. It is the one we would make.

Where this order comes from: three things we measured — how much it overlaps with what you asked us for, whether we could check it fully or only partly, and on how many of the 11 reviewed pages it appears. What we checked fully goes before what we checked partly. We do not measure how much each change costs, so if the first is expensive and the third is one line, start with the third.

State whether these dropdowns are open or closed

How to check it: Confirm it in the menu code: it has aria-expanded, and its value changes when it is opened and closed

1 of the 11 pages · overlaps with “Get someone arriving at this page for the first time to find and complete the main action the site offers them” · the card

There are 2 more steps, in the same order

Mark which details in this form are required

How to check it: Confirm it by looking at the form: the required fields stand out at a glance, and in the code they have required

1 of the 11 pages · overlaps with “Get someone arriving at this page for the first time to find and complete the main action the site offers them” · the card

Raise the contrast of this text against its background

How to check it: Confirm it with the eyedropper in the browser inspector: each of the color pairs listed in the full report now reaches its minimum

What you can leave as it is

We looked at this in full and found nothing to fix.

  • Metadata and shareability

Other things we observed, none of which point to a problem.

There are 7 facts.

  • We counted 344 images on the pages we reviewed. 185 of them are declared as decorative.
  • The main heading of / says: “Where teams and agents Build together.”.
  • The main heading of /product/dev says: “/dev/notion”.
  • The main heading of /webinars says: “Webinars”.
  • And 8 more.
  • 11 of the 11 pages we reviewed have a title, a description and sharing data.

  • Metadata and shareability

    We looked at it on every page we read and found nothing to flag.

What its forms ask for

A form without a title inside the form itself. If there is a heading just above it but outside it, we do not count it.

  • A form without a title of its own asks for 1 detail; we found no mark we can read that says whether it is required. It is on https://app.notion.com/login?from=marketing&pathname=%2F&tid=w_e2f277967626446aaa65ec54531df3e2.

Why it matters: Every detail asked for before getting an answer is one more decision for whoever fills it in.

We counted what the form asked for when it opened; it may ask for more as you go. We only see the forms the page declares as forms.

What we checked and what was left out

This report looks at this site at 390 pixels wide, with the same checks we run on desktop. There are three things specific to mobile that we do not check yet: the size of what has to be tapped, whether the phone zooms in on the page when a field is tapped, and what text size is left afterwards. That we do not name them does not mean they are fine: it means we have not looked at them.

We read 11 pages on desktop, and all of them could also be read on mobile.

Consent notice: we could not determine whether there was one on 1 of the 11 pages of this review. On that page, what we describe is what loaded before we responded to anything; if the notice exists, content that only appears afterwards may be missing.

We read 11 of the 64 pages we found linked from the one you gave us. We start with the pages in the main navigation; footer links go last. Besides the page you gave us, we read up to 10 more pages per diagnostic. Here we reached that limit.

What we did and on what

We read 11 pages on September 14, 2026. We have 7 findings, in 5 groups. There is 1 more that we only show with its evidence.

How we chose which pages to read. We followed the links on www.notion.com and found 94 anchors. 29 were repeated and 2 pointed outside the site.

We ran 6 checks. Complete: 2. Partial: 3. Not measured: 1.

  • https://www.notion.com/
  • https://www.notion.com/product/dev
  • https://www.notion.com/webinars

  • https://www.notion.com/customers/ramp
  • https://www.notion.com/customers/cursor
  • https://www.notion.com/customers/toyota

We ran 6 checks. Complete: 2. Partial: 3. Not measured: 1.

With that, we flag 1 change. In 2 cases, we hold back.

Where we did not look

Each abstention with its cause and its scope. Absence of observation is not absence of the problem.

  • Links whose destination we could not determine · on 11 pages we read

    We cannot tell which are links that lead nowhere and which are buttons that work — tabs and dropdowns are written the same way. We do not claim that any of them is broken.

  • Computed accessibility

    Partial. Visible focus does not show in a still capture, so we did not check it.

  • Navigation and links

    Partial. We checked links with no declared destination, but we did not follow any, so we do not detect a link that leads to a page that does not exist.

  • First screen and calls to action

    Not measured. A fixed layer sat over the first screen, and we cannot separate what is underneath.

  • Third parties and consent

    Partial. This check only covers the domains the page called while loading. We removed the cookie notice by rejecting it. We do not judge whether what the page does with those domains is lawful.

  • Comparison with a reference population

    We do not yet compare this site with any reference corpus.

LIMITS OF THIS REVIEW

  • These observations are limited to the reviewed pages listed above.

  • The pages we did not read are not in these observations: nothing this report says refers to them.

  • What we count as a link or button: links, buttons, controls that submit a form, and anything that declares a link or button role. If something acts as a control without declaring itself one, we do not see it.

  • We measure contrast against the reference the check itself comes with: 4.5 to 1 for normal text and 3 to 1 for large text. It is not a threshold of our own. We do not measure text placed over an image or a gradient: the check cannot determine the background color, and those cases do not reach these observations.

  • This review looked at the site in its light version. If the site changes its appearance when the computer or phone is in dark mode, that version has not been looked at, and what we say here about contrast does not apply to it.

  • This review was done from the Netherlands, within the European Union. A visitor from outside the European Union may not see the same thing: some sites change depending on where they are requested from.

  • Fixed layers are measured in each of the windows used in this review. At another window size, the part of the first screen that is covered changes, and a layer that covers nothing in one window may cover something in another.

  • We do not count images declared as decorative: an image is declared decorative with alt="", and that is a choice made by whoever put it there. We trust that declaration; we do not check whether the image really is decorative.

  • When we review the declared type of a field, we go by its name and its label. We do not check what is typed into it, so a field whose name does not announce what it expects can go by without us flagging it.

  • This review abstains on 6 points. Each one, with its cause and its scope, is under “Where we did not look”.

The measurements, one by one

On 8 of the 11 pages we reviewed, the first screen has links and buttons that share the same background, text color and font size.

F4 · First screen and calls to action

Their appearance does not separate one action from another: someone arriving has no visual cue to choose by.

It appears on 8 of the 11 pages we reviewed. Among them: /, /webinars, /explore-consultants. Plus 5 more.

Where it is

a,button

About this check: Not measured. A fixed layer sat over the first screen, and we cannot separate what is underneath.

If you decide to change it: Change the style of whichever one should be the main action. We have not tested the change, so we do not know what else is affected.

We found 5 menus that open and close without saying which of the two states they are in.

F2 · Navigation and links

Why it matters: Someone using a screen reader cannot tell whether it is expanded.

It is on /explore-consultants.

at both widths

We found no aria-expanded attribute on the control that opens it, nor anything that changes it from false to true when it opens.

Where it is

[aria-haspopup]

About this check: Partial. We checked links with no declared destination, but we did not follow any, so we do not detect a link that leads to a page that does not exist.

If you decide to change it: One attribute per menu. We have not tested the change, so we do not know what else is affected.

We found no button that submits the form.

F3 · Observed forms

Whoever fills it in cannot find anything to press to send it.

It is on https://app.notion.com/login?from=marketing&pathname=%2F&tid=w_e2f277967626446aaa65ec54531df3e2.

at both widths

We found no submit control: a <button type="submit"> or an <input type="submit">.

Where it is

form

No fix proposed: the submission may be wired up by a script.

One form asks for a single detail, and we found nothing that says whether it is required.

F3 · Observed forms

Why it matters: Whoever fills it in does not know what they can leave blank until they try to send it.

It is on https://app.notion.com/login?from=marketing&pathname=%2F&tid=w_e2f277967626446aaa65ec54531df3e2.

We counted what the form asked for when it opened; it may ask for more as you go.

Where it is

§email:

If you decide to change it: Mark each required field in its label, and declare it on the field itself with the required attribute. We have not tested the change, so we do not know what else is affected.

On 6 of the 11 pages we reviewed, there are pieces of text that barely stand out from their background.

F1 · Computed accessibility

Why it matters: It is hard to read against the color behind it.

It appears on 6 of the 11 pages we reviewed. Among them: /, /product/dev, /product/demos. Plus 3 more.

at both widths

We measure against the reference the check itself brings: 4.5 to 1 for normal text and 3 to 1 for large text. We did not set it. We do not measure text that sits on an image or a gradient: the check cannot work out the background color, and those cases never get this far.

About this check: Partial. Visible focus does not show in a still capture, so we did not check it.

If you decide to change it: Change one color in the stylesheet. We have not tested the change, so we do not know what else is affected.

This site asks the browser not to allow zooming in on a phone.

meta[name=viewport]

About this check: Partial. Visible focus does not show in a still capture, so we did not check it.

If you decide to change it: Remove that value from one line. We have not tested the change, so we do not know what else is affected.

On all 11 pages we reviewed, there are external domains that load before anyone touches anything. On the page with the most, there are 10.

About this check: Partial. This check only covers the domains the page called while loading. We removed the cookie notice by rejecting it. We do not judge whether what the page does with those domains is lawful.

No fix proposed: this is a decision worth consulting on.

The headings on each page skip levels once.

F1 · Computed accessibility

Why it matters: Anyone navigating by headings loses the thread of the document.

It is on /explore-consultants.

at both widths

We look at the order of the heading levels (h1, h2, h3…) as they appear in the document, and here there is a skip between levels. We do not judge what each heading says.

Where it is

h1..h6

About this check: Partial. Visible focus does not show in a still capture, so we did not check it.

If you decide to change it: Change the level of the tag, not how it looks. We have not tested the change, so we do not know what else is affected.
