Compliance status

We firmly believe that the Internet should be available and accessible to all, and we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstances and ability.

To accomplish this, we aim to adhere as closely as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Adhering to these guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to everyone: blind people, people with motor disabilities, visually impaired, cognitively impaired and more.

This website uses various technologies to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with specific disabilities to adjust the user interface (user interface) of the website and design it according to their personal needs.

In addition, the website uses an artificial intelligence-based application that runs in the background and constantly optimizes its level of accessibility. This application repairs the HTML of the website, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen readers used by blind users and for keyboard functions used by people with motor disabilities.

If you have found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we would be happy to hear from you. You may contact the website operators using the following email info@studiocastillo.es.

Screen reader and keypad nacegation

Our website implements the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attribute technique, along with several different behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users visiting with screen readers can read, understand and enjoy the website’s features. 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 effectively navigate and operate your site. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen reader requirements, along with console screenshots of sample code:
Optimization

Screen reader optimization: We run a background process that learns the website components from top to bottom, to ensure continuous compliance even when the website is updated. In this process, we provide screen readers with meaningful data using the ARIA attribute set. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions of actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form entries; roles of elements such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (pop-up windows) and others. In addition, the background process scans all images on the website and provides an accurate and meaningful description based on image object recognition as an ALT (alternative text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract text that is embedded within the image, using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. To activate the screen reader settings at any time, users only need to press the keyboard combination Alt+1. Screen reader users also receive automatic announcements to activate the screen reader mode as soon as they enter the website. These settings are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the HTML of the website and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website work with the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate drop-down menus with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, activate buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio items and checkboxes using the arrow keys, and fill them with the spacebar or Enter key. In addition, keyboard users will find quick navigation and content jump menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first items on the site while navigating with the keyboard.The background process also handles triggered pop-up windows by moving the keyboard focus to them as soon as they appear, and does not allow the focus to drift away from it.

Disability profiles supported on this website

Epilepsy safe mode: this profile allows people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flickering or flashing animations and risky color schemes.
Mode for the visually impaired: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments, such as impaired vision, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma and others.
Cognitive Impairment Mode: This mode provides different assistance options to help users with cognitive impairments such as dyslexia, autism, AVC and others to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD-compatible mode: This mode helps users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders to read, navigate and focus on the main elements of the website more easily, while significantly reducing distractions.
Blind 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 blind users that is installed on a computer and a smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor Disability): this profile allows people with motor disabilities to operate the website using the Tab, Shift+Tab and Enter keys on the keyboard. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons) and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific items.

Additional user interface, layout and readability settings

Font settings: users can increase and decrease font size, change font family (type), adjust spacing, alignment, line height and more.
Color settings: users can select various color contrast profiles, such as light, dark, inverted and monochrome. In addition, users can exchange color combinations of titles, text and backgrounds, with more than 7 different color options.
Animations: Epileptic users can stop all running animations at the click of a button. Interface-driven animations include videos, GIFs and flashing CSS transitions.
Content highlighting: users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. You can also choose to highlight only the focused or suspended elements.
Audio muting: users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other problems due to automatic audio playback. This option allows users to mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders: we use a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang and others.
Additional features: we provide users with the option to change the color and size of the cursor, use a print mode, enable a virtual keyboard and many other features.

Compatibility with navigator and assistive technology

Our goal is to support the widest possible range of browsers and assistive technologies, so that our users can choose the tools that best suit them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to support all major systems that comprise more than 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers) for both Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments and feedback

Despite our 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 being made accessible, or lack an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Even so, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and enhancing its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this in order to achieve the optimum level of accessibility, following technological advances. For any assistance, please contact info@studiocastillo.es.
