Fnac levels up its website with EqualWeb

01/08/2023 15:47:25
From now on, users can access accessibility functions like Voice Navigation, Color Adjustments, and Image Descriptors, among others. The Fnac website is now more accessible for users with different types of disabilities, including seniors.
 
Madrid, June 20, 2023. Fnac, the leading brand in culture and technology, shows its commitment to accessibility with its partnership with EqualWeb, a software technological company that helps facilitate the online browsing experience for people with disabilities.

To access the new features from cell phones and computers, EqualWeb’s Auto AI Accessibility Widget allows users to click on the button representing the International Symbol of Accessibility. The icon can be found in the header in the mobile version or in the top right corner of the web page in the desktop version.

Once the EqualWeb widget is activated by pressing the button, the user can reach a menu with different functions to customize the website and make it more accessible. The widget allows activating several accessibility profiles, such as “Blindness,” “Motor Skills Disorders,” “Color blindness,” “Visual impairment,” “Epilepsy,” “Learning,” and even an option for the elderly that shows the content in a more readable way.

These profiles automatically select a number of accessibility functions that remediate the content and various web elements on www.fnac.es. For example, the Voice Navigation function enables the text on the website to be read aloud. Another feature is the Keyboard or Smart Navigation function, enabling users to navigate the web pages from the keyboard without using the mouse, thus optimizing their user experience.

Fnac has also included a Custom Color function that allows users to change colors and adjust the background tone, headers, and web content. Similarly, the Monochrome mode which converts the website’s colors to black and white can be automatically activated. In addition, you can choose between light mode (white background with dark fonts) or dark mode (black background with bright fonts).

EqualWeb not only allows you to adjust the site’s colors but also the web font so that you can increase or decrease the font size. Among the rest of the tools, an image descriptor and a flicker blocker that allows you to stop the flashing of moving elements are available.

The above text is a press release issued originally by Fnac in Spanish on June 20, 2023, translated by EqualWeb.

TL;DR: On April 24, 2024, the Federal Register published the updated guidelines for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requiring state and local governments to follow WCAG 2.1 AA standards for their websites and mobile applications. While there are specific requirements, the updates also include exceptions for archived content and certain social media posts. This isn’t a heavy-handed mandate but a necessary step toward ensuring digital accessibility for everyone.

In 2004, Italy introduced a groundbreaking piece of legislation known as the Legge Stanca, or Law 4/2004. This legislation, also referred to as the Stanca Act, established a set of guidelines for ensuring the accessibility of websites and mobile applications for people with disabilities. Italy has recently expanded its accessibility law to apply to large private entities, which establishes the Stanca Law even more as a significant force in promoting digital inclusion in the boot-shaped peninsula.
