Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website uses various technologies designed to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with specific disabilities to adjust the website's UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Furthermore, the website employs an AI-based application that operates in the background, continuously optimizing its accessibility level. This application remediates the website's HTML, adjusts its functionality and behavior for screen readers used by visually impaired individuals, and for keyboard navigation utilized by those with motor impairments.
If you've found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we'll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website's operators by using the following email: jose.rodriguez.co@udep.edu.pe
Screen reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, along with various other behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users visiting with screen readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website's functions. As soon as a user with a screen reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here's how our website covers some of the most important screen reader requirements, along with console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: We run a background process that learns the website's components from top to bottom, ensuring ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; and element roles such as buttons, menus, and modal dialogs (popups). Additionally, the background process scans all of the website's images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded within images using OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen reader adjustments at any time, users simply need to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen reader users also receive automatic announcements to turn on Screen Reader Mode as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website's HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make it operable by keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find quick navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allowing the focus to drift outside of them.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported on our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode This profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: This mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as degrading eyesight, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode This mode offers various assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as dyslexia, autism, CVA, and others, focus more easily on the essential elements of the website.
ADHD Friendly Mode: This mode helps users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: This mode configures the website to be compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen reader is software for visually impaired users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired) This profile enables individuals with motor impairments to navigate the website using the Tab, Shift+Tab, and Enter keys on their keyboard. Users can also utilize shortcuts like “M” for menus, “H” for headings, “F” for forms, “B” for buttons, and “G” for graphics to jump directly to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – Users can increase and decrease its size, change its font family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments Users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
Animations Epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting Users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Mute audio Users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders We use a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, which helps people with cognitive disorders understand the meanings of phrases,Initials, slang, and more.
Additional functions – We give users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest possible range of browsers and assistive technologies so that our users can choose the tools that best suit their needs, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to support all major systems that account for over 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, and Microsoft Edge, as well as JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), for both Windows and Mac users.
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anyone to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. However, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating, and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All of this is intended to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to jose.rodriguez.co@udep.edu.pe
