In the design and development of this site/application, the following principles inspired by international guidelines (WCAG 2.1, level AA) were followed:
- Perceivability: content is presented in different ways so it can be perceived by all (e.g. alternative text for images, adequate color contrast, semantic heading structure).
- Operability: all functions can be used via keyboard, mouse, or assistive tools.
- Understandability: content and navigation are clear and consistent.
- Robustness: the code is developed according to valid web standards to ensure compatibility with different devices, browsers, and assistive technologies.
We have adopted a customizable accessibility widget, which allows users to modify the visual and structural features of the site in real time. Available options include:
- Increase/decrease text size
- Adjust line height and letter spacing
- Enable high readability fonts (e.g. for dyslexia)
- High contrast mode or color inversion
- Saturation adjustment
- Text-to-speech functionality
- Highlight links
- Hide non-essential images and visual content
- Enlarged cursor
- Automatic detection and textual description of images without alt attribute
The site has undergone a series of technical evaluations:
- Automated audits using tools such as WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool and Lighthouse
- Manual tests with screen reader, keyboard, and browser zoom
- Contrast checks according to WCAG 2.1 specifications
- Semantic validation of HTML code
- Review of images with alternative text
- Review of images with alternative text
- Check of the hierarchical structure of headings (H1-H6)
The audits were carried out before and after the implementation of the accessibility widget, verifying the concrete effectiveness of the available customizations, although not all customizations are actually detected by a standard scan since they are applied upon explicit user request.
The company maintains a log of accessibility-related actions, documenting:
- The design, wireframe, and initial implementation with attention to heading hierarchy and focus elements
- Code changes aimed at improving accessibility
- Dates of the tests performed
- Results obtained with the various audit tools
- Corrective actions taken following reports or internal reviews
- Updated versions of the integrated widget
