Digital accessibility
The Law on Accessibility of Web Site and Programming Solutions for Mobile Devices of Public Sector Bodies came into force, and, subsequently, the Public Institution Nature Park Velebit is publishing the Digital Accessibility Statement of its web center and coherence with the Directive (EU) 2016/2102 entitled Web Accessibility Directive and the possibility of enabling user feedback in order to further upgrade the digital accessibility of the web center.
General
The web page www.cerovacke-spilje.hr is trying to secure accessibility of its services for disabled people to the largest possible extent. We are constantly trying to ensure digital accessibility to all the users who access public services and information by implementing the European Parliament and Council Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of October 26th, 2016, about the accessibility of web pages and mobile devices of the public sector.
We are constantly trying to improve the user experience by implementing relevant accessibility standards according to the guidelines and standardization of web content (WCAG 2.1 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), the initiative of web accessibility (WAI) and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) which is an organization that deals with standardizing web technologies.
The web page www.cerovacke-spilje.hr is in accordance with the Law on Accessibility of Web Site and Programming Solutions for Mobile Devices of Public Sector Bodies with certain exceptions.
Inaccessible content
- certain .pdf files contained in the posts were not completely created by exporting out of the original file from Microsoft Office Word tool and choosing the accessibility option but by scanning printed documents which makes them inaccessible because they are not suitable for screen readers
- .pdf files open in a new browser tab and .doc, .docx and .ppt files are only accessible as files to download
- a part of the images and files does not have an appropriate textual description (alt text)
- there is a part of the text in the form of image files mostly because of organizational and technical reasons
- a part of the content (texts) on the web page does not have left alignment
- certain elements of the web page cannot be accessed using the keyboard
- links in some cases are not descriptive and do not provide information about the content to which they take you to (instead, they only contain expressions such as more, here)
Raising accessibility level
The Public Institution Nature Park Velebit will implement additional corrective actions which will make the inaccessible content on the web page accessible for disabled people.
