Compliance with standards
All pages on this site are written in proper HTML5 code. Writing proper code ensures proper work of assistive technologies used by people with disabilities (such as screen readers for use by the blind).
The site was designed in contrasting colors that allow optimal use for the visually impaired and color blind.
The content on the website is semantic. Contains headings, information tables, lists, paragraphs, standard links, form controls and image descriptions if they are meaningful.
The site has content areas in frames that are displayed from other sites. These areas are defined in title highways. Their accessibility, however, depends on the hosting site. For example – Facebook in the side area of the content pages.
The forms on the site are accessible to screen readers and keyboard users.
The display on the website
You can change the size of the texts on the site by using the CTRL + keyboard or by using the menu.
Enlarging the text by 200% will display the site as it is displayed on mobile devices – this is for an optimal display of the content.
The minimum recommended resolution for viewing the site is 980 pixels wide. It should be noted that even at a resolution lower than this, the site can be viewed.
The site is optimized for viewing on mobile devices (responsive)
The fonts on the site are sans serifs – that is, they do not contain edges that interfere with the reading sequence.
You can browse the site without CSS and get a decent result.
The dynamic information carousels can be stopped and activated using a keyboard / mouse.
If you want to make other changes to the size of the texts and colors on the site, you can do so using the browser. You are invited to follow the instructions for changing colors and fonts in the browser. These changes will affect all the sites you view using your browser. Some sites may not respond to changes because they are not accessible.
