Accessibility Statement

1. Introduction

SSL Fruity AI GmbH & Co KG is committed to making its website accessibility-check.net accessible in accordance with the provisions of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Web Accessibility Directive (EU) 2016/2102.

This statement applies to the website: https://accessibility-check.net

Compliance Status: This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

2. Implemented Accessibility Measures

2.1 Semantic HTML

We use semantic HTML5 elements for better structuring:

• <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <footer> for logical document structure
• Correct heading hierarchy (h1, h2, h3) without skipping levels
• Labeled form elements with <label> tags

2.2 Keyboard Accessibility

The entire website is fully operable via keyboard:

• All interactive elements are reachable with the Tab key
• Visible focus indicators for all focusable elements
• Logical tab order through the page
• Enter and Space key support for buttons and links

2.3 Visual Design

We have ensured sufficient contrasts and readable font sizes:

• Color contrasts meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text)
• Primary color: #2563eb (Blue) with sufficient contrast to white background
• Relative font sizes for scalability
• No information conveyed solely through color

2.4 Images and Media

All images are provided with alternative text:

• Descriptive alt attributes for informative images
• Empty alt attributes for decorative images
• SVG icons with descriptive labels or aria-labels
• Lucide Icons library for consistent, scalable icons

2.5 ARIA Support

Where necessary, we use ARIA attributes:

• aria-label for button descriptions
• aria-labelledby and aria-describedby for form associations
• Semantic HTML elements take precedence over ARIA roles

2.6 Responsive Design

The website is fully responsive and works on all devices:

• Mobile-first approach with adaptive layout
• Support for various screen sizes and resolutions
• Touch and mouse-friendly interaction elements
• Minimum touch target size of 44x44 pixels

2.7 Forms

All forms are designed to be accessible:

• Labeled input fields with <label> tags
• Clear error messages for validation errors
• Placeholder text as additional help (not as a replacement for labels)
• Logical tab order through forms

2.8 Navigation

The website navigation is clearly structured:

• Consistent navigation on all pages
• Multiple ways to access content (navigation, search, sitemap)
• Breadcrumb navigation where applicable
