Accessibility
Christ & Heiri AG is committed to providing a fully accessible website for all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnification software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the internet.
Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility
We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1 to determine accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content usable. When we add new pages and features to our website, all designs, code, and content entry processes are reviewed according to 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. Testing of our website 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 tests.
Accessible Features on Our Website
Below is a list of features we have incorporated into our website to improve accessibility:
- Logically structured main navigation with clear page hierarchy
- Alt text for many images to support screen readers
- Contact options available through various channels (email, phone, contact form)
- Multilingual support (DE, EN, ES, FR) for better accessibility for international users
- Relevant legal information (imprint, data privacy) is accessible with minimal barriers
Areas for Improvement
As we work to keep our website up to date, we are focusing on the following areas:
- Improving alternative text for all images and graphics
- Providing captions or transcripts for embedded videos
- Optimizing keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility
- Reviewing and adjusting color contrast across all elements
- Implementing a “Skip to Content” function
- Regularly checking the website for accessibility issues using up-to-date tools
These efforts are part of our commitment to making the experience at Christ & Heiri AG as enjoyable as possible. Please note that while we strive to provide accessible information to all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites to which we link.
