Accessibility and inclusion on www.bevicafonden.com
Our website should work as well as possible for as many people as possible. Everyone should have a good user experience when experiencing and navigating around the website with or without a disability. That is, regardless of your physical starting point, whether you navigate solely using a keyboard, use a screen reader or other assistive technologies, and whether you use a mobile phone, tablet or PC.
This is our ambition, which follows naturally from our strategic objective of pushing forward the development of a more socially sustainable society that embraces everyone in the best possible way. Our strategic work is based on the UN's Leave No One Behind agenda and the UN Convention on Disability and the Convention's focus on universal design as a values-based approach to creating a more equal society for all. Leave No One Behind is about leaving no one behind in sustainable development, and universal design is fundamentally about the fact that diversity of user needs requires diversity of solutions (Camilla Ryhl).
Universal design stands for a human vision that does not divide people into a 'them' and an 'us'. Because there is no 'them' and 'us'. There is only one 'us' (Camilla Ryhl). It is a common condition of being human that our functional abilities change throughout life. So accessibility is not about special solutions for special people, but about all of us.
This is especially true of web accessibility. Web accessibility is not only essential and necessary for people with disabilities, but benefits us all. When we create a more inclusive and user-friendly experience, everyone benefits.
What we have done to create an accessible website
We wanted to create a website that at least complies with the Danish and international guidelines for web accessibility, i.e. WCAG 2.2 level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). But we also have an ambition to go beyond that, to take the lead and help raise the level of web accessibility, digital inclusion and usability.
We hope you find that the website has an intuitive and logical structure, that it is clear and easy to navigate, and that the text is written in clear and clear language. In the design, we have put great emphasis on simplicity and recognition, high contrast, and on selecting and using colors and fonts for maximum readability and ease of use.
For example, the background colors have been selected for people with ADHD and autism, but at the same time they are generally good colors for all users. The colors are pleasant to read long texts on, and the strength of the colors is attuned to make the text readable.
Diversity in user needs requires diversity of solutions (Camilla Ryhl)and therefore you can customize the website to just your needs and prerequisites by using the accessibility menu at the top of the page. Here you can, for example, make the font larger, increase the contrasts or turn off the automatic playback of videos.
