Our Ongoing Efforts to Accessibility

The Municipality of Oliveto Lario is committed to ensuring that its website is accessible to all users, regardless of age, abilities, or technologies used. Our goal is to offer an inclusive browsing experience that complies with the technical requirements and accessibility guidelines set out by current legislation and by the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

The website is developed and updated following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, an internationally recognized standard for inclusive digital design.

As we build and update pages, we regularly review:

  • semantic HTML structure

  • color contrast

  • heading hierarchy and page structure

  • meaningful alternative text for images and icons

  • full keyboard navigation

  • compatibility with assistive technologies

Accessibility is tested using both manual checks and automated tools, including:

  • PageSpeed Insights

  • WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool

  • Silktide (including simulated screen reader tests)

  • WordPress Accessibility Checker

  • WCAG color contrast analyzers

  • keyboard-only navigation tests

  • readability assessments (Gulpease / Flesch–Kincaid)
