Accessibility
Accessible to everyone – barrier-free web design
When designing the accessible microsite for the State Ministry, we paid particular attention to clear navigation, a high-contrast colour scheme and easy-to-read content. The look and feel also had to be modern, while fitting into the context of the public institutions.
Although we did not technically implement the website, all development requirements were of course taken into consideration. For example, a read-aloud function, a contrast switch and font size settings were provided. The layout followed technical specifications so that it could be easily implemented later in the programming. For example, this means that the fonts were matched to each other in percentages, so that font size adjustment would be easy. Hover effects and control elements were defined in a way that is barrier-free, so that they do not rely solely on colour, for example, as a recognisable indication of interactivity.
