Compliance status

Screen reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attribute technique alongside various behavioural modifications to ensure that blind users employing screen readers can read, understand, and use the site's features. As soon as a user employing a screen reader enters your page, they are immediately prompted to enter a Screen Reader Profile, enabling them to browse and operate the site effectively. Here is how our website meets some of the most important requirements concerning screen readers, along with console screenshots containing code examples:

Profile of disabled people served on our website

• Epilepsy-safe mode: This profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely, eliminating the risk of epileptic seizures caused by flashing animations and risky colour combinations.
• Visually impaired mode: This mode adapts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as failing eyesight, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma and others.
  Cognitive disability mode: this mode offers various supportive options that help users with cognitive impairments, such as dyslexia, autism, stroke and others, to more easily focus on the essential elements of a website.
• ADHD-friendly mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental conditions to more easily read, browse and focus on the main elements of a website, whilst significantly reducing distractions.
• Accessibility mode for blind people: This mode configures the website to be compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack. A screen reader is software for blind users, installed on a computer and smartphone, with which websites must be compatible.
• Keyboard navigation profile (for users with motor disabilities): This profile enables users with motor disabilities to operate the website using the Tab, Shift+Tab and Enter keys. Users can also use keyboard shortcuts such as „M” (menus), „H” (headings), „F” (forms), „B” (buttons) and „G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional changes to the user interface, design and readability

1. Font customisation – users can increase and decrease their size, change the family (type), adjust spacing, alignment, line height and much more.
2. Colour customisation – users can choose various colour contrast profiles, such as light, dark, inverted and monochrome. Additionally, users can change the colour schemes of titles, texts and backgrounds using over seven different colour options.
3. Animations – people with epilepsy can stop all animations with a single click. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs and flashing CSS transitions.
4. Content highlighting – users can choose to underline important elements, such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight only selected or hovered elements.
5. Muting the sound – users with hearing aids may experience headaches or other issues due to auto-playing audio. This option allows users to instantly mute the entire website.
6. Cognitive impairment – we use a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, enabling people with cognitive impairments to decipher the meaning of phrases, initials, slang and more.
7. Additional features – we offer users the ability to change the cursor colour and size, use a print mode, enable an on-screen keyboard and many other features.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

Our aim is to support the widest possible range of browsers and assistive technologies, so that our users can choose the tools best suited to their needs, with as few restrictions as possible. We have therefore made every effort to support all the major systems that account for over 95% of the user market, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, as well as JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).

Notes, comments and reviews

Despite our best efforts to enable everyone to customise the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of having accessibility implemented, or lack an adequate technological solution. Nevertheless, we are continually improving our accessibility by adding, updating and refining options and features, and by developing and implementing new technologies. All of this is aimed at achieving an optimal level of accessibility, in line with technological advancement. For assistance, please contact us at biuro@parking.gda.pl
