Standards Compliance

This website has been designed and programmed following the guidelines of the WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative), which sets international standards for creating web content accessible to everyone.

Accessibility Guidelines

Several measures have been taken to make the website more accessible, including: Logical order of presentation of elements on screen. Simplified navigation system; drop-down menus are not used. Descriptive text for images. Keyboard access to main options.

 

Keyboard shortcuts

Most browsers support going directly to specific links by pressing certain key combinations (access keys) defined on the website. For example, on Windows it works by pressing Alt+access key (in Internet Explorer you also have to press the Enter key); on Macintosh, it works by pressing Ctrl+access key.

Links

Most links whose text doesn’t fully describe the destination have title attributes with a clarification. When possible, links are written in a way that makes sense out of context. Some browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list of links from the current page and allow the user to navigate from this list. With this in mind, links are not duplicated, and if they are, it’s because they access the same content.

There are no JavaScript pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if JavaScript is disabled.
