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
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.
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.
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
