ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Web Accessibility

The World Wide Web (WWW) was created as a universal network for the sharing of knowledge and information. However, significant barriers still exist for many users, including people with disabilities, as not all websites are designed and developed with accessibility in mind.

What is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility refers to the ability of a website or online service to be accessed and used satisfactorily by the widest possible range of people, regardless of their personal abilities, disabilities or the limitations imposed by their environment.

Accessibility is also a key element in promoting equal opportunities for people with disabilities, enabling access to information, culture, leisure and other digital services.

Introduction

MANFREDI ARQUITECTURA is committed to improving the accessibility of this website in order to make its content available to the widest possible audience.

The accessibility criteria adopted are based on the recommendations of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the international organisation responsible for developing web standards.

A number of accessibility improvements have been implemented within the capabilities of the technologies used on this website. While every effort has been made to maximise accessibility, some limitations may remain and are subject to ongoing review and improvement.

This website has been developed using technologies such as HTML, PHP and CSS in accordance with W3C recommendations, ensuring compatibility across different devices and a clear separation between content and presentation.

Text Size

Relative font sizes have been used throughout the website. Users may adjust the text size through their browser settings, typically using:

  • Ctrl + to increase text size

  • Ctrl – to decrease text size

or the equivalent browser accessibility controls.

Page Structure

This website has been designed using a consistent structure across all pages to facilitate navigation and improve usability, particularly for users relying on assistive technologies.

Pages generally consist of the following sections:

  • Header, including access to the homepage, social media links and contact information.

  • Main navigation menu, providing access to the primary sections of the website.

  • Main content area, which varies according to the page being viewed.

  • Footer, containing links to key pages, legal information, this Accessibility Statement and social media profiles.

Navigation Aids

To improve navigation and usability:

  • The website logo always links to the homepage.

  • Elements performing the same function are identified consistently throughout the site.

  • Multiple methods are provided to locate information, including navigation menus and footer links.

  • Content is clearly structured, properly marked up and logically organised.

Non-Accessible Content

Due to technical limitations or the requirements of certain third-party applications, some content may not fully comply with all accessibility guidelines.

In addition, occasional accessibility issues may arise in content published after 20 September 2020.
