This website has been developed with an accessibility- and usability-oriented approach in order to access website contents in a simple and intuitive way.
There has been an effort to make aspects as perceptibility, intelligibility, operability and solidity prevail as recommended by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines elaborated by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), and to implement Italian legislation on the subject.
The website uses XHTML 1.0 and CSS2 standards, separating page contents and their style sheet. The layout is obtained through external style sheets: this ensures a better speed to lad pages and the possibility to customize the presentation style and dimension of the fonts. Thanks to these solutions, the website reaches full compatibility with most common browsers.
The following access keys are activatable from every page of the website:
* S - Skip navigation
* 1 - Homepage
* 2 - What's new?
* 4 - General Search
* 0 - Accessibility and Usability details (this page)
* = use the keys for rapid access supported by your browser
- Firefox Mozilla: ALT + SHIFT + KEY
- Opera: SHIFT + ESC + KEY
- Google Chrome: ALT + KEY
- Safari: CTRL + KEY
- Internet Explorer: ALT + KEY
The site provides several utilities: a text-only version of each page, breadcrumbs for easy browsing, alternative descriptions of multimedial contents, font enlargement for easier on-screen reading, links opening in the same window.
Other tools as the RSS Feeds, the Newsletter, and the "Share it" feature are oriented to contents sharing and spreading through a network composed by active subjects and tools for the promotion and the protection of human rights.
The editorial staff is committed to maintain a high level of accessibility and usability.
By the end of July 2010, further intervention to improve the level of accessibility of the website are scheduled, in particular related to multimedia contents (audios, videos, pictures).
The website has been realised with the technical collaboration of HCE l.t.d.. - Hypertext Cultural Experience, with headquarters in Abano Terme (Padua).
