Website Accessibility
The website is designed to be accessible to all website visitors by adapting various methods, while at the same time making their experience as positive as possible. We designed accessibility based on self-assessment in accordance with the Website and Mobile Application Accessibility Act.
Accessibility level
The website is written in HTML5 and uses CSS3 style sheets (Cascading Style Sheets) for designing websites. The jQuery JavaScript library is used for interactions and certain functionalities. The operation and appearance of the websites have been tested on all popular older and newer browsers and on various devices and operating systems.
The website is designed to be accessible and user-friendly for all website visitors. It was created in accordance with the level AA guidelines for the accessibility of web content according to the WCAG 2.1 standard. (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1).
For the compatibility of websites with assistive technologies and accessibility with devices such as screen readers, the website follows the guidelines of the WAI-ARIA specification (Web Accessibility Initiative – Assistive Rich Internet Applications). In the HTML code of the websites, descriptions and attributes with additional information for dedicated applications or readers are added. Examples are alternative texts for graphic elements, labels for input fields and buttons, etc.
Accessibility functions
Part of the website is a special tool that enables additional website accessibility functions. It appears when you click on the accessibility icon in the lower right corner. The user is enabled to:
- facilitate navigation with keys on the keyboard,
- use of a larger mouse cursor, in white or black,
- light and dark contrast,
- display of colors in grayscale,
- use of a standard font, more suitable for people with dyslexia,
- larger font size; bold font,
- emphasized links.
- The use of the website is further facilitated by keyboard shortcuts.
Possible improvements
The website uses the JavaScript scripting language for normal operation, a better overall user experience and greater security. Without appropriate browser support, navigation is difficult and the display and submission of web forms in pop-up windows does not work.
Many WCAG guidelines for improving website accessibility can be interpreted subjectively. Interpretations can also change over time.
The implementation of certain missing functions is not economically justified and will be taken into account during the next website redesign.
