The institutional english site of the Department of Agricultural Sciences has been designed and created in compliance with the accessibility requirements for Public Administration websites established by the "Stanca" Law n.4/2004 "Provisions to facilitate access for disabled people to IT tools ” and by the WCAG 2.0 guidelines level AA “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines” of the international consortium W3C. In creating the new site, the utmost care was taken to ensure that the information and services are usable on various browsers, on various platforms and devices and through assistive technologies. The portal can also be consulted via smartphone and tablet: thanks to the Responsive Web Design technique, implementing three distinct versions of the portal (smartphone, tablet and desktop) to be provided based on the characteristics of the device with which is accessed. To make the most of the features of current and future mobile devices, the use of HTML5 and CSS3 has been privileged thanks to the use of advanced and dynamic features. Where possible, an adaptation process is underway to achieve compliance with W3C validation.
The colors used in the portal allow for sufficient contrast between foreground and background text. The text can be resized through the browser options without the aid of assistive technologies and without loss of content and functionality: however, there are few cases of overlapping of elements with the use of old and outdated browsers, which do not however preclude the access to information and navigation.
Generally images and non-textual objects that convey useful information are accompanied by valid textual alternatives based on the specific logic in the context of use.
There are no information elements conveyed solely and exclusively through color choices or images. For example, indications such as: "link above", "click the link below", "click the red link" have been avoided.
Both the layout and the contents do not include animated images or animations that are not strictly necessary and in any case never accompanied by elements with intermittent visibility. In general, particular attention has been paid to the text / background contrast, avoiding contrasts that tire or make reading impossible.
A comprehensive verification through the
EXPERTE ACCESSIBILITY CHECK testifies to the use of specific CSS that cover the formatting needs also in relation to the contents of the internal pages so as to avoid introducing CSS in line (directly in the content). These CSS can be deactivated most of the time, leaving the possibility of using the content regardless of the presentation mode.
The entire site can be navigated with images and style sheets disabled both through the appropriate browser configuration. The liquid layout of the contents of the site allows them to be used in any situation of resizing of the browser window.
Likewise, enlargements and reductions of the visibility area due to the use of specific devices, does not affect the ability to consult the contents. A sample check confirms that the data entry or information search forms (form) explicitly associate labels with the respective controls, positioning them so that it is easier for those who use assistive technologies to fill in the fields. All hypertext links make the destination explicit with meaningful texts even if read regardless of their context. This facilitates the reading of the page through assistive technologies that allow easy navigation for users who prefer to consult first of all the links on the page.
