On this page, we will describe all the functionalities that were used to help disabled users have a better browsing experience. The resources follow WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) recommendations of W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). World Wide Web‘s main organization, which develops standard techniques and guidelines for the market.
At the top of our website pages, we provide an accessibility bar, which contains:
- Keyboard shortcut keys: a combination of different keys, which makes browsing easier without using the mouse;
- Accessibility page: it presents information about the accessibility of the site and the available resources;
- High contrast: it activates an optimized contrast, making browsing easier for those with reduced sight;
- Site map: it provides all the website pages hierarchically, allowing the user to get to know the entire site’s structure and to directly access the page they want.
