Accesibility

Accessibility Policy


At the Foundation Maria Garcia Estrada did not mean a "reasonable percentage" when speaking of a website's target audience: everyone should be able to use the Internet.  Our accessibility policy is aimed at the following objectives:
•     To facilitate user access regardless of physical condition or environment.
•     Allow access with different browsers.
•     Get a clear content structure and well defined.
•     Optimize navigation and user experience.


The measures implemented to achieve these objectives are:
•     Logical order of presentation and content display in the code.
•     Simplified navigation system consisting of a main and secondary menu at footer.
•     Using the W3C standards:
•     Grammar XHTML Strict and CSS 2.1
•     Accessibility Guidelines for Web Content (WCAG level AAA)
•     Using alternative text when the page information is primarily visual-oriented vision-impaired users.
•     Direct access using keyboard shortcuts to the main navigation options.
