ACCESSIBILITY

Standards Support

All pages comply with the Accessibility Guidelines or General Principles of Accessible Design established by the Working Group of WAI, owned by W3C.

Specifically, this website conforms to the Accessibility Content Guideline on the Web 1.0, level A.

All pages have been created according to the W3C XHTML 1.0; Recommendation of Web Development and Structured Semantic Markup.

The presentation layer has been developed under the W3C Recommendation on Cascade Style Sheets, Level 2 (CSS2).

To find out how these standards affect the accessibility of a web site you can read the Dive into Accessibility, an excellent resource that explains, with examples, how these directives help a group of users with limitations in the time of navigating on the web.

Links
Most of the links, whose text does not fully describe the destination, have title attributes with an explanation.
Where possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Some browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) an extract of the list of links on the current page and allow the user to navigate from this list. With this in mind, the links are not duplicated and if they are it is because they access the same content.

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

Virtual Design

The visual design was done by CSS. If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets, the web content is fully legible thanks to its structural markup
