Accessibility of the Rothoblaas website

At Rothoblaas, we believe that digital accessibility is a fundamental right.
Our aim is to make the website accessible and usable for everyone, regardless of their ability, temporary condition or the technologies they use.

We are aware that achieving full accessibility is a continuous process, and we are actively working to improve the quality, usability and inclusivity of our digital content.

We are committed to ensuring compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, levels A and AA, internationally recognised as the technical standard of reference for web accessibility.

In addition, we are implementing best practices to comply with Italian and European regulations on digital accessibility, including:

• Law 4/2004 (“Legge Stanca”)

• AgID (Agency for Digital Italy) guidelines on the accessibility of websites and digital services

• EU Directive 2016/2102 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies

Currently, the website is only partially compliant as several areas or components are yet to fully meet the WCAG criteria.

The statement of the current accessibility status is available by CLICKING HERE.

We are implementing a series of tangible actions to improve the accessibility of our website:

- Audits and technical analyses

We have conducted a technical analysis on the various components of the site (e.g. buttons, filters, breadcrumbs, badges, images) to identify issues relating to colour contrast, alternative labels, visible focus and semantic structure.

- Design System

The findings are being integrated into our Design System to ensure consistency and future compliance of UI components.

- Corrections and implementations

We are updating the visual style of the website to resolve issues such as:

• Insufficient contrast between text and background

• Missing alternative texts for important images

• Inconsistency in keyboard focus

• Unassociated labels and descriptions in forms

- Verification and testing

Each update is validated using automated tools (e.g. WAVE) and manual usability tests. A testing phase using assistive technologies is also planned.

- Internal training

We are raising awareness and providing training to our teams responsible for text and visual content, development and UX/UI, to integrate accessibility as an essential part of the design process.

- Collection of feedback

We have activated a channel for collecting user feedback on the accessibility and usability of our website.

We greatly value user opinions and reports, especially from those using assistive technologies, as they help us to improve.
