Accessibility

¿What is accessibility?

Web accessibility indicates capacity to access the web and its content for the greatest number of people independently of their browsing context or user handicap.

By browsing context we understand the devices, browsers, speed of Internet connection, peripheries, configuration of the browser or equipment, environmental conditions, etc.

Whilst by handicap we are referring to visual, hearing, motor or cognitive disabilities.

Commitment declaration

For this purpose, we have developed a website which guarantees accessibility to its contents by complying with the Accessibility Guidelines established by the WAI Work Group (Web Access Initiative) belonging to W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).

XHTML 1.0 Transitional for the marked valid semantics and the cascade style sheets (CSS) for the design, allow us to display the website correctly on different devices and platforms as well as printing its content properly.

If you have any questions, suggestions or problems regarding the accessibility of this website, please contact us via this email address: czuazo@tekniker.es
