However, subsidized websites must also meet certain criteria set by the European Union. These are none other than those of the WCAG 2.0 standard, which refer to the accessibility of the page to people with disabilities.
Firstidea is one of the few companies that took steps well before the announcement of the NSRF programs to organize itself in the field of website development for people with disabilities, creating the appropriate mechanisms and applications that will bring its websites into line with European Union directives and funding programs. We are therefore ready to take on your website, with guaranteed results.
Summary characteristics of websites for people with disabilities.
The guidelines for full compliance with the WCAG 2.0 standard are numerous and it is not a simple process that can be summarized in a few lines of text. It involves a whole philosophy and a different approach, combined with certain technologies designed to facilitate people with disabilities and special needs. A complete guide to building websites for people with disabilities can be found here: WCAG 2.0. However, we summarize the following:
The website must provide alternative text for non-text elements (such as images).
Captions and other alternative forms of information should be provided where multimedia elements are used.
Creating content that can be presented in different ways, using special assistive technologies, without losing its meaning, so that people with different types of disabilities can read it.
Facilitating visitors with special needs to hear or see content, such as through the use of screen readers.
Accessible content using only a keyboard if necessary.
The website should allow visitors to extend the time they have to view something.
The content should not cause seizures.
The website should make it easy for users with special needs to navigate, search, and find the content they want.
The website should make it easy for users with special needs to navigate, search, and find the content they want.
