Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

SparkFabrik firmly believes that the web should be accessible to everyone. Digital accessibility is not just a technical requirement: it’s a value that guides our daily work and reflects our commitment to inclusion.

We are committed to ensuring that every person, regardless of their abilities or the assistive technologies they use, can navigate, understand, and interact with the content on our website.

Conformance Standards

This website has been designed and developed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the internationally recognized standard for web content accessibility.

WCAG is based on four fundamental principles:

• Perceivable: information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive
• Operable: user interface components and navigation must be operable
• Understandable: information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable
• Robust: content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of assistive technologies

Measures Taken

To ensure and maintain the accessibility of our site, we implement the following measures:

• Regular audits: we conduct periodic checks using automated tools (axe-core, Lighthouse) and manual testing
• Color contrast: all text meets a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 to ensure readability
• Keyboard navigation: the entire site is navigable using only the keyboard
• Semantic structure: we use semantic HTML with correct heading hierarchies and appropriate ARIA landmarks
• Alternative text: all meaningful images have descriptive alternative text
• Ongoing training: our team is trained on accessibility best practices

Compatibility

Our site is designed to be compatible with:

Supported browsers:

• Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (latest two versions)

Assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
• Keyboard navigation
• Screen magnification software
• High contrast mode

Known Limitations

Despite our commitment, some parts of the site may have accessibility limitations:

• Third-party content: embedded videos from external platforms (YouTube, Vimeo) may not fully meet accessibility standards
• PDF documents: some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible
• Interactive maps: embedded maps may require alternative methods of consultation

We are constantly working to address these limitations and improve the experience for all users.
