Accessibility

The following measures have been considered for the Consumer Arbitration Board's website, to provide users with easier access to all its content and features:

  • Multi-browser: Pages offer correct viewing on several browsers used for the analysis (Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome).
  • Consistent browsing: Website consistency is ensured, making browsing coherent on every page and offering a satisfying user experience.
  • Distractions: Eliminates interference such as content flickering, exaggerated blinking, automatically starting audios or moving content.
  • Movement: moving content has a stop mechanism.
  • Text images: Except for logos or trademark images, content is generally perfectly configurable, given that text images are avoided.
  • Headings: page headings state portals and sections to provide contexts for users.
  • Language: The page language is correctly marked.
  • Audio-visual player: audio-visual players are accessible to users for any type of device, to keyboard users and to blind people.
  • Language style: The page language is simple and suitable for the public its content is aimed at.
  • Texts in links: Texts in links generally provide context so they can be understood.
  • Alternative text for images: images contain alternative texts where they provide information.

The development of the Consumer Arbitration Board's website was based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0), at Double A level, as established by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).
