What is web accessibility?
Web accessibility means that websites and applications are accessible and usable for everyone. The accessibility of the information and services offered is not obvious to everyone. Think of the visually impaired and blind, the elderly with impaired vision, but also people with limited hand function or limited reading skills.
Web accessibility is based on the following 4 principles:
- Visible: Information and user interface components must be visible to users in a way that they can perceive.
- Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
- Understandable: Information and operation of the user interface should be understandable.
- Robust: Information must be robust enough to be reliably interpreted by a wide range of users.
Every government website is required to have an accessibility statement. This explains in detail and clearly to what extent the website meets the proposed standards and is regularly updated.
