Digital Accessibility
What is digital accessibility?
Digital accessibility is about considering the needs of people with disabilities when designing digital products and services (websites, apps, etc.).
Accessibility standards consider the needs of people with impaired vision, hearing, motor skills, or intellectual, cognitive or mental capacity.
Checking that a website complies with the WCAG accessibility standard is about ensuring that the online service being assessed is compatible with the assistance technologies used by disabled people. Examples include a screen reader and/or Braille display for blind people, a voice-operated system for people with motor disabilities, etc.
An accessible website allows people with disabilities to easily access its content and functionalities. For example, an accessible site makes it possible to:
● Browse using a voice synthesizer and/or Braille display (used in particular by blind and partially sighted people);
● Customize the display of the site to suit your needs (increasing font size, changing the colors, etc.);
● Browse without using the mouse (using only the keyboard, via a touchscreen, by voice control or any other suitable accessory).
To achieve this, the site must comply with the standards that are in force when it is developed and updated.
Declaration of accessibility
Here at ZV ARTEAST, we take particular care to ensure that our online services are accessible to as many people as possible, in accordance with Article 47 of French Act no. 2005-102 of 11 February 2005 and international recommendations on digital accessibility (WCAG 2.1 levels A and AA).
This accessibility statement applies to the www.zadig-et-voltaire.com website, which is to be rendered accessible gradually during the first half of 2025
An approach conducive to optimum accessibility
ZV ARTEAST is currently taking a variety of steps and devoting resources to further enhance the accessibility of our website and mobile site. We have engaged an experienced accessibility consultant, Allyant, to conduct a website accessibility audit and provide recommendations to increase accessibility so that our website and mobile site meet or exceed applicable standards.
Compliance status
Currently, the Zadig&Voltaire website (www.zadig-et-voltaire.com) does not fully comply with WCAG 2.1 levels A and AA. The areas that do not comply are currently being addressed. This means that the contents of this accessibility statement will be updated regularly.
In addition to this move towards WCAG compliance ZV ARTEAST has added the FACIL’iti solution on its website to allow the user to adapt the display of the website according to the specific needs that might be necessary for a better user experience.
Test results
In the absence of a compliance audit, there are no test results.
