We firmly believe that the Internet should be available and accessible to everyone, and we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstances or abilities.
To achieve this goal, we strive to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Adhering to these guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to everyone: people who are blind, have mobility disabilities, have low vision, have cognitive disabilities, and many others.
This site uses various technologies designed to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with specific disabilities to adapt the site's user interface (UI) and customize it to their needs.
Additionally, the site uses an artificial intelligence-based application that runs in the background and constantly optimizes accessibility. This application corrects the site's HTML, adapts functionality and behavior for screen readers used by blind people, and for keyboard functions used by people with motor disabilities.
If you've encountered a bug or have suggestions for improvement, we'd love to hear from you. You can contact the site managers using the following email address: info@palazzani.eu
Our site implements the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attribute technique, along with several behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users who use screen readers can read, understand, and use the site's features. As soon as a screen reader user accesses the site, they are immediately prompted to enter their Screen Reader Profile, allowing them to navigate and interact effectively with the site. Here's how our site meets some of the key needs of screen readers, with code examples from the console:
Screen reader optimization: We run a background process that analyzes every component of the site from top to bottom to ensure compliance even after updates. During this process, we provide screen readers with meaningful data via ARIA attributes. For example: accurate labels in forms; descriptions for interactive icons (social, search, cart, etc.); validation guidance in form fields; and roles for elements such as buttons, menus, modals (pop-ups), etc. Additionally, the process scans all images on the site, providing object-recognition-based text descriptions as ALT tags for undescribed images. Text within images is also extracted using OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To activate screen reader adaptations at any time, simply press Alt+1. Users will also receive an automatic prompt upon entering the site to activate Screen Reader mode.
These features are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Optimized for keyboard navigation: The background process modifies the site's HTML and adds various behaviors via JavaScript to make it keyboard-navigable. This includes the ability to navigate with the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, open drop-down menus with the arrow keys and close them with Esc, activate buttons and links with Enter, navigate between radio elements and checkboxes with the arrow keys, and select them with the spacebar or Enter. Keyboard users also find quick navigation and skip-to-content menus, always accessible with Alt+1 or as the first elements on the site during navigation. The process also handles pop-ups by moving the keyboard focus to them as soon as they open, preventing the focus from leaving the active element.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (images) to jump directly to desired elements.
We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so users can freely choose the tools that best suit their needs, with the fewest limitations. To this end, we've worked hard to ensure compatibility with all major systems, covering more than 95% on the market: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA.
Despite our best efforts to allow everyone to customize the site to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are undergoing upgrades, or temporarily lack adequate technological solutions. However, we continue to constantly improve accessibility, updating features and adopting new technologies to achieve the best possible level.
