The website of ANACOM is adapted to the needs of users with disabilities, to a level well above that generally found for websites covered by Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 155/2007 of 2 October. This is the main conclusion of the analysis carried out by the expert team of HCIM - Human-Computer Interaction and Multimedia, part of the LaSIGE Research Laboratory, based in the Sciences Faculty of Universidade de Lisboa.
The HCIM team considers that the best practices of accessibility adhered to in the design, development and maintenance of ANACOM's website contribute greatly to the good results obtained in the accessibility tests conducted, including:
- Compliance with the rules applicable to the structure and presentation of Web pages;
- The effort to comply with level AAA of the WCAG 1.0 standard;
- The existence of alternative text and high contrast versions of the website;
- The establishment of a set of rules for editing content that do not impose barriers to access to information.
In light of the analysis conducted, a suitability level was determined of 80%, with only a few barriers to accessibility identified, whose resolution - already underway - will lead to full compliance with level AAA of the WCAG 1.0 standard.
Accordingly ANACOM is honoring its commitment as an active participant in an inclusive society based on information and knowledge which is accessible to all citizens, regardless of any special needs they might have or the means they use to access the Internet.
