Accessibility policy
In its current version, the Bénévolat au Québec site complies in large part with the level 2 rules of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
Images:
- A text equivalent is supplied for all important images.
- The layout does not use invisible images.
- Images are used to provide information only where no other HTML element can be used.
Colours:
- The information conveyed with colours is also accessible without colour by using borders, underlining, weight, font, etc.
- The level of contrast of the foreground and background of the colours is sufficiently high for persons with colour deficits or when viewed on a black and white screen.
- No flickering screen will cause problems for persons with photosensitive epilepsy.
Language:
- Language changes in a text are signalled with HTML tags.
- The main language of each page is specified with the required attributes.
- Hover your cursor over an acronym to view its definition.
Structure and Presentation:
- The page setup for the Volunteering in Québec site relies in large part on the use of external style sheets, which means that the presentation style is uniform for the entire site.
- Pages are structured using HTML logic.
Tables:
- No tables have been used for the site layout. Tables are used exclusively to display data.
- Line and column headers are identified with the necessary mark-up.
Scripts:
None of the scripts used on the site are essential for navigation or information-consultation purposes.
Redimensioning:
The character size can be changed with the functionalities of the browser.
Navigation and Links:
- The site plan is accessible from each page.
- The navigation menu reflects the information structure.
- The adjacent links are separated as much as possible by printable characters to avoid confusion by assistive technologies.
Each visible element on a form is linked to a caption.
