The Municipality of Salerno is committed to ensuring a fully accessible web experience for everyone, regardless of their abilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnification software, and alternative input devices to browse online.
Our ongoing commitment to accessibility
We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 as the main reference for designing, developing, and updating the cultura.salerno.it website.
These international standards provide recommendations and best practices to make content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for as many users as possible.
Every new page, feature, or piece of content is checked against these criteria in order to maintain an appropriate level of accessibility over time.
Web accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a static result.
We periodically carry out checks and tests on pages and features to verify compliance with WCAG 2.1 level AA and, where necessary, implement corrective and improvement actions.
Our team performs these checks using recognized tools and methodologies, including the WordPress Accessibility Checker plugin, colour contrast analysers, keyboard-only navigation tests, and readability tests based on the Flesch-Kincaid index.
Website accessibility features
To improve the accessibility of cultura.salerno.it, we have implemented, among others, the following measures:
Page structure with hierarchical headings and subheadings to facilitate navigation with screen readers.
Alternative text (alt attributes) for images that are relevant from an informational standpoint.
Adequate colour contrast between text and background elements to improve legibility.
Possibility to navigate the website using the keyboard, without the need for a mouse.
Clearly identifiable links and buttons with descriptive labels.
Forms structured with labels associated with fields and clear error messages.
Content written in simple and clear language to support understanding for a broad audience.
Areas we are working to improve
With a view to continuous improvement, we are focusing in particular on the following areas:
Checking and optimising the accessibility of multimedia content (videos, audio, downloadable documents where applicable), including transcripts and subtitles where possible.
Progressively reviewing older pages to align them with current accessibility standards.
Monitoring issues reported by automated tools and by user feedback, and systematically resolving any criticalities identified.
These activities are part of a broader commitment by the Municipality of Salerno to make the experience on cultura.salerno.it welcoming, inclusive, and usable for everyone.
Please note that, while we make every effort to ensure the accessibility of content published on our website, we cannot guarantee the same level of compliance for third-party websites that may be linked via external links.
