Accessibility

Introduction

Accessibility seeks to eliminate, or at least minimise, the barriers that certain groups of users come across when using the Internet and thus allow their access to information. The difficulties of the users may be physical, mental or related to the technology that they use:

  • Sight, hearing or mobility problems
  • Difficulty to understand the content
  • Browsing not very intuitive
  • Slow connection
  • Outdated web browsers or which do not interpret the content correctly
  • Lack of certain devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.)

Bizkaia Provincial Council is aware of the importance of accessibility online, meaning that everyone can access the Bizkaia Provincial Council content, and it therefore seeks to comply with accessibility and improve every day.

The www.visitbiscay.eus website conforms to Web 2.0 Content Accessibility Guidelines, Level Double A and the HTML 5 recommendation, with special emphasis on the separation between structure, presentation, content and functionality.
