Accessibility

Meets standards

Faced with various disabilities, and from the start, the W3C, the organization responsible for Internet standardization, has incorporated the concept of accessibility into its work. The most visible part of this work is the Accessibility Initiative , which produced a web content specification, WCAG .

Alternative versions of the site

Version optimized for printing

When printing a page, all of the site's navigation elements will be hidden so that you can print only the useful content of your information: on all browsers, in the menu bar at the top of the browser , go to File> Print (shortcut: Ctrl + P).

Navigation aid

Tab navigation

Within the same page, it is possible to switch from element to element (links, form elements, etc.), to do this press Tab and repeat until you select the desired element, then validate with Enter.

Main Menu

The main menu allows you to easily explore the main sections of the site. Hovering over the section displays its submenu and gives direct access to the pages of this section. When you are in a page, the pages of the same topic appear in the contextual column and are accessible at any time.

The main menu is accessible via the Tab key. The menu is browsed using the arrow keys to select the desired item, then validate with Enter.

Breadcrumb

A breadcrumb trail is a navigation tool that allows you to find your way around the site. Displayed at the top of the main content, it lets you know the path in the tree structure to the page consulted and easily return to higher levels. It is in the form Home> Current section> Current sub-section> displayed page.

Site map

The site map allows Internet users to have a quick overview of all the content of the site with access to each page.

Search engine

On all pages, the search engine input field is placed at the top of the page. When you do a search, the search engine lists the pages that best meet your expectations.

Accessibility features of the operating system

Modern operating systems offer various functions that facilitate accessibility to information and IT tools. For example, from Windows XP, we can find:

A visual keyboard intended for users for whom the use of the physical keyboard is difficult.
A magnifying glass for users with slightly reduced vision.
An accessibility wizard allows you to configure Windows according to your visual, hearing and motor skills.

These functions are accessible via the Windows start menu, in “all programs” then “Accessories” and “Accessibility” or “ergonomics option” for Windows8.
