The company is concretely committed to ensuring that its websites and digital applications are accessible to as many users as possible, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, neurological, or motor disabilities.
Digital accessibility is for us an essential component of inclusivity, professional ethics, and the overall quality of the user experience.
Principles followed
In the design and development of this site/application, the following principles inspired by international guidelines (WCAG 2.1, level AA) were followed:
In the design and development of this site/application, the following principles inspired by international guidelines (WCAG 2.1, level AA) were followed:
- Perceivability: content is presented in different ways so it can be perceived by all (e.g. alternative text for images, adequate color contrast, semantic heading structure).
- Operability: all functions can be used via keyboard, mouse, or assistive tools.
- Understandability: content and navigation are clear and consistent.
- Robustness: the code is developed according to valid web standards to ensure compatibility with different devices, browsers, and assistive technologies.
Adopted solution
We have adopted a customizable accessibility widget, which allows users to modify the visual and structural features of the site in real time. Available options include:
We have adopted a customizable accessibility widget, which allows users to modify the visual and structural features of the site in real time. Available options include:
- Increase/decrease text size
- Adjust line height and letter spacing
- Enable high readability fonts (e.g. for dyslexia)
- High contrast mode or color inversion
- Saturation adjustment
- Text-to-speech functionality
- Highlight links
- Hide non-essential images and visual content
- Enlarged cursor
- Automatic detection and textual description of images without alt attribute
This approach is based on the principle that true inclusivity is not achieved by enforcing a universal style, but by giving each user the freedom to choose, so they can adapt the site according to their personal needs.
Checks performed
The site has undergone a series of technical evaluations:
The site has undergone a series of technical evaluations:
- Automated audits using tools such as WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool and Lighthouse
- Manual tests with screen reader, keyboard, and browser zoom
- Contrast checks according to WCAG 2.1 specifications
- Semantic validation of HTML code
- Review of images with alternative text
- Review of images with alternative text
- Check of the hierarchical structure of headings (H1-H6)
The audits were carried out before and after the implementation of the accessibility widget, verifying the concrete effectiveness of the available customizations, although not all customizations are actually detected by a standard scan since they are applied upon explicit user request.
Intervention log
The company maintains a log of accessibility-related actions, documenting:
The company maintains a log of accessibility-related actions, documenting:
- The design, wireframe, and initial implementation with attention to heading hierarchy and focus elements
- Code changes aimed at improving accessibility
- Dates of the tests performed
- Results obtained with the various audit tools
- Corrective actions taken following reports or internal reviews
- Updated versions of the integrated widget
This log is available upon request for competent authorities or certifying bodies, as required by European regulations (EU Directive 2016/2102) and Italian law (Stanca Law, AGID updates).
