Improved
accessibility.
The importance of low-barrier websites.
Equal chances
in the digital world.
Barrier-free websites aim to provide equal access to digital content for all people, regardless of their personal abilities or limitations. They are designed in such a way that they are suitable for users with visual or hearing impairments, motor impairments or cognitive hurdles. The measures implemented include a clear page structure, meaningful alt texts for images, high color contrasts and easy-to-understand navigation.
In this way, accessible websites increase usability and accessibility and create space for the unrestricted participation of all people in the digital sphere.
The measures were taken as part of EN 301 549 in accordance with WCAG 2.1 Standard AA.
