We strive to update and implement the accessibility rules as much as possible, in accordance with the accessibility standards.

The website is optimized for level 2 (AA) accessibility of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. In the following links you will find the website’s accessibility guidelines in English. The site was built according to W3C standards for CSS and HTML. The website is optimized to display in major web browsers, such, Google Chrome, and Firefox.

Easily browsing the website

You can navigate forward in the site with the TAB button. To navigate backward, press the key combination: SHIFT + TAB.

Before the main navigation of site, there is a hidden button that appears when it receives the keyboard focus. Clicking it will open a pop-up window. In the window, the site menu will appear. It can be closed by pressing the “ESC” button on the keyboard, or by clicking the “close” button in the menu. You can also navigate to it using the small keyboard arrows (up and down(.

You can navigate from the main menu using “TAB” and “SHIFT + TAB”.

At the top of the site there are buttons that can change the font size and the website colors, to facilitate viewing.

To assist in entering information into the website’s forms, there is a unique tool that enlarges the text as you type in the form fields. The tool opens and closes automatically when you are in a form field, and does not interfere with filling in the form.

Navigating areas

The site is divided into areas, such as the main content area and the versatile menu. At the start of each area, there is a level 5 heading indicating the name of the area you are in. Some of the headlines are also links, which allows you to skip that area and reach your desired content faster. For example, it is possible to skip over the main menu.

ARIA rules

These rules help to interpret the site content accurately and better for those technologies, so that the technology you are using will provide you the accurate meaning of existing elements on the page.

Website accessibility issues

The Visualizer component inside the website is built on novel usage of 3D WebGL technologies. These technologies evolved from the gaming industry and only in recent years were introduced to the world of applications in websites as a new way of browser exploration.  In essence, these technologies are designed eventually to enable a more natural, real human 3D like interaction with the surrounding, and are supposed to be supported in various devices – starting from mobile phones, desktop up to virtual reality headsets.   Meanwhile, since the form-factor varies a lot, and the technology is still evolving – there are no standards up to date for proper access and handling of 3D in applicative manner.  In addition the proper UX methods are still forming and no two applications are totally alike. For these reasons, current accessibility standards do not apply to the Visualizers component.
