Foreground and background colors have good contrast throughout the website and much of the content is displayed in black on white. Also, information is never transmitted solely through color.

Links to skip navigation

The links located at the top of the page will help you navigate through the main sections.

Keyboard only navigation

It is possible to use all functions without the need for a pointing device.

All images (and images of text) have meaningful text alternatives, either in the "alt" attribute or in the text above or below (for complex images). Merely decorative images have empty "alt" attributes.

All forms are accessible from the keyboard and have associated, programmatically, category labels and information. Custom form fields are optimized to improve accessibility. Error messages due to the user entering invalid information are detectable by the assistive software.

Data tables include appropriate headers. Complex tables have summaries.

Headers are widely used to describe the content in a meaningful way. Not only is the main content of each page marked using headers, but also the other areas (header, navigation, footer, etc.).

The names of the links are unique and meaningful out of context. When a link opens a new window/tab or directs to a different file format (PDF, audio/video, etc.), an appropriate indication is added to the link text (although not always...).

Bookmarks are used to mark the different elements of a page (header, main content, footer, etc.).

Whenever possible, we choose to use traditional solutions (simple HTML) before resorting to accessibility solutions for rich Internet applications (ARIA), as we have observed that even the most modern browsers and screen readers offer limited support for ARIA. This also ensures greater compatibility with older assistive software.

JavaScript is optimized to be used with assistive software. This means that the elements have clear and unambiguous labels, the focus is managed appropriately, and feedback is provided from user interaction. For complex interactive elements, descriptive text is provided to help understand their functionalities.

Screen reader users are informed after taking an action (for example, after adding a product to the shopping cart).
