Those
who are not familiar with the user-friendliness
connected with web site design should
take into account that many users
could be accessing a field that is
very different from their own:
|
|
 |
|
|
| |
>
They could have difficulties in hearing, seeing,
in being mobile, or in being able to process some
information sources, either easily or at all.
>
They could have difficulty in reading or comprehending
a text.
>
They are not necessarily familiar with using a
mouse or keyboard.
>
They could be using a small screen, a screen that
only shows text, or a slow Internet connection.
>
They could have difficulties in speaking fluently
or comprehending sufficiently the language in
which a document is written.
>
They may have a previous version of a browser,
a completely different one, a voice browser or
an alternative operating system.
In
order to make this website as user-friendly to
as many people as possible, several solutions
are being worked on. |

Text
size
Fonts that allow the user to enlarge the text
through their browser options have been used.
Equivalent
texts
An equivalent text to non-textual elements is
provided (for example, through alt, longdesc,
title or in the element content). These include:
images, graphical representations of text, image
maps, photographs, scripts, images used as bullet
points in lists, and space or graphic buttons.
Colour
codes
All information is transmitted through colours
that are also available without colour, for example,
through context or by markers.
Page
structure
The site is designed with a consistent format
for all the content pages: header, left menu column,
central content area and right column. This allows
the user to become familiar with the respective
page structure, making easier use for those who
require technical assistance in exploring the
site. |
