Accessibility

Technical foundation

This website has been designed and developed by Fabio Fidanza Studio following an accessibility-based workflow.

Content is accessible using non-visual browsers, and user adaptation of content presentation is fully supported on visual browsers, e.g. font size, colors, zoom.

Content editing

Content templates have been created to ensure proper semantic tagging and nesting of headings with minor interventions from editors.

Since pages can be edited by a group of people, some of whom might not be involved in accessible content editing, there might be occasional issues like titles not properly nested. These issues are generally fixed before publication, given the existence of an internal publication workflow, or during recurring checks.

While a simple syntax is preferred to make text comprehension easier, some pages might be very technical, and as such, their understanding might be more complex.

All page templates on this website have been tested automatically (using Axe and tools based on it) and manually, and are compliant with WCAG 2.2 AAA.

Content editing might result in some pages not using correct markup, as per previous section, while being included in accessible templates.

Automated testing might result in false positives and false negatives. 
E.g. on the homepage, images of staff members do not have an alt tag, but people's names are presented in a separate tag, thus being accessible even if marked as not accessible.

Since this website is subject to frequent content editing and release of new content, some pages might not be completely accessible.

We're always keen to fix any accessibility issues, and welcome any reports.
