At Westfalia, we are committed to making our website accessible to everyone, regardless of disabilities or impairments. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive and seamless user experience for all visitors. In line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, we continuously strive to meet the highest accessibility standards.

OUR APPROACH TO ACCESSIBILITY

We continually examine our website to identify and address potential accessibility barriers. Key initiatives include:

  • Enhanced Design and Functionality: Our website design and functionality are continuously improved to enhance the user experience. We prioritize clean layouts, intuitive interfaces, and easy navigation to ensure that all users can find and use the information they need efficiently, regardless of their specific needs.
  • Keyboard Navigation Improvements: Our website is fully navigable using only a keyboard. This feature is crucial for users who may have difficulty using a mouse, allowing them to easily access and interact with all aspects of the site, including links, buttons, and forms.
  • Text-to-Speech Compatibility: We strive to make our content compatible with popular text-to-speech software. By ensuring that our site works smoothly with these tools, we make it easier for users with visual impairments or learning disabilities to access and comprehend our content.
  • Skip Navigation Links: To improve usability for screen reader and keyboard users, we have implemented “Skip to main content” links at the top of every page. This allows users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and go directly to the main content, enhancing efficiency and ease of use.
  • Focus Indicators: Interactive elements on our site, such as links, buttons, and form fields, are equipped with visible focus indicators. These indicators show which element is currently selected when navigating via keyboard, helping users track their position on the page and improving overall navigation.
  • Resizable Text: Users can adjust the size of the text on our website through their browser settings. This allows individuals with low vision to resize the text to their preference without negatively impacting the layout or functionality of the site.
  • Clear and Consistent Layout: We maintain a clear and consistent layout throughout the site, ensuring that information is easy to find and navigate. This helps all users, including those using screen readers or assistive devices, to quickly and efficiently locate the content they need.
  • Consistent Headings and Structure: Our website follows a logical and consistent heading structure, which allows screen readers to interpret and present the content in an organized way. This structure makes it easier for users to understand the hierarchy of information and navigate through pages efficiently.
  • Accessible Forms: Our forms are designed with accessibility in mind. All form fields are clearly labeled, and any error messages are displayed in a user-friendly way. This ensures that users can easily complete forms without confusion or difficulty.
  • Contrast and Color Choices: We have optimized color contrasts across the site to improve readability for users with visual impairments or color vision deficiencies. By carefully selecting color combinations, we ensure that text and other elements are easy to read for all users.
