Accessibility statement

General information

The City Council of Canet d’en Berenguer is committed to providing a fully accessible web experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnification software and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Continued efforts to ensure accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally accepted standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content usable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all design, coding and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Our website testing is performed by our team members using industry standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques and Flesch-Kincaid readability testing.
