The state capital Stuttgart would like to achieve:
Our Internet site is barrier-free.
Barrier-free Internet site means:
Also people with different impairments
can use the internet site.
There are different laws about accessibility on the internet.
We follow the rules in this law:
- Disability Equality Act
from the state of Baden-Württemberg
This text is the Declaration on Accessibility
of the state capital Stuttgart.
The declaration applies to this Internet page: www.stuttgart.de
1. do we comply with the accessibility rules?
We have carefully checked our internet site ourselves.
We have checked:
What are the barriers on our website?
The result of the test was:
Our website is not yet completely barrier-free.
We already comply with some accessibility rules.
We do not yet comply with some rules.
2. what is not accessible on our website?
Here we have written down the barriers on our internet site:
Logo and menu on the home page
On the home page we have our logo at the top and a field for the menu.
In the background we have a photo.
Sometimes you can't see the logo and the menu
not well visible on the photo.
The differences in the colors are then too little.
Alternative texts
An alternative text is an image description.
People with visual impairment
cannot see the pictures.
But many of these people use
special reading programs on the computer.
The reading programs recognize the alternative texts.
And the reading programs then read the alternative texts aloud.
This way, even people with a visual impairment can
understand the images.
Sometimes the alternative texts do not match the pictures so well.
Links
A link takes you to another Internet page.
Some links lead to older pages of Stuttgart.
Or to completely different internet pages.
It can be:
The links lead to content that is not accessible.
Especially the contents of the municipal meeting service are not accessible.
PDF documents
PDF is the name for a certain type of documents.
We have many PDF documents on our internet site.
For example flyers, brochures and info sheets.
These PDF documents are mostly not accessible.
Official PDF documents are accessible.
Request accessible content
Do you need specific content in an accessible format?
For example, a PDF document.
