Accessibility
We aim to make our website accessible to all users — regardless of individual limitations. We are guided by the following principles.
Perceptibility
We ensure that features and information can be perceived by all users. A central element is the "two-channel principle" — information is conveyed through at least two different sensory channels.
- All information that can be perceived visually is also available audibly
- All information that can be perceived audibly is also available visually
- Information is not conveyed exclusively through colours, to accommodate colour blindness
- Where possible, information is also supported/conveyed tactilely
Practical Implementation
- All images and graphics have alternative texts
- Duration of time-controlled media is adjustable
- Text sizes are customisable
- Sufficient contrast between foreground and background is ensured
- Videos are provided with subtitles
Operability
We ensure that our website is also operable for people with disabilities.
- Keyboard operability, which is especially relied upon by people with motor impairments or blindness
- Sufficiently long time limits for interaction steps
- Avoidance of blinking and flashing to protect people with epilepsy
- Support for orientation through clear and unambiguous link texts and various navigation paths
- Alternatives to pointer gestures and complex gestures are provided
Comprehensibility
We ensure that content is readable and comprehensible for the widest possible audience. This also includes content that is read aloud.
- Use of clear and simple language
- Explanations of technical terms and abbreviations
- Support for people with cognitive impairments and non-native speakers
- Consistent design of the user interface
