Web accessibility means adapting the digital environment so that everyone is able to effectively visualise, navigate and interact with the content. The term is also used by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which standardises the creation and interpretation of online content and facilitates access to websites, regardless of a person’s ability. Using a set of modifications, ranging from font sizes to the resources used in a page, websites can prepare themselves to meet the needs of their users.

Modal boxes (images or texts that overlaid on top of site content) and Flash are not used, because their characteristics make it impossible for those with visual disabilities to access.

Navigation is possible through the keyboard, using shortcut key combinations, meaning users do not have to use the onscreen navigation buttons and can focus solely on the information.

The invisible menu is the first navigation tool for those with disabilities, allowing them to browse through pages more objectively and directing them to the top, menu and bottom areas. Every image is accompanied by a description, ensuring that what is being pictured can be understood.
