ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Vela Yacht strives to make its website accessible in accordance with the Act on the Accessibility of Websites and Software Solutions for Mobile Devices of Public Sector Bodies (“Narodne novine,” no. 17/2019), by which Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council is transposed.
It also endeavors to make its website compliant with the guidelines for ensuring the accessibility of web content developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
This Statement applies to the website: www.vela-yacht.hr.
Degree of compliance
This website is partially compliant with the Act on the Accessibility of Websites and Software Solutions for Mobile Devices of Public Sector Bodies (“Narodne novine,” no. 17/19), Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and the guidelines for ensuring the accessibility of web content developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
Non-accessible content
Pursuant to Article 8 of the Act on the Accessibility of Websites and Software Solutions for Mobile Devices of Public Sector Bodies (“Narodne novine,” no. 17/19) and Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as the guidelines for ensuring the accessibility of web content developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI),
Vela Yacht conducted an initial assessment of its website’s compliance with accessibility requirements.
The identified shortcomings are as follows:
The website is not fully adapted to HTML5 standards in some minor parts. Due to technical limitations of the site, complete compliance is not possible; however, this does not prevent users, regardless of their abilities, from accessing and using the site.
- Some photographs and/or non-textual content on the website are decorative in nature or used only for visual formatting. In accordance with point 5.1.3.6. of the European standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (2018-08), specified by Article 7(1) of the Act on Accessibility, such content does not have (and need not have) alternative text.
- Some text is not left-aligned.
- There are PDF documents in image format that cannot be downloaded and read via screen readers.
- Interactive elements, such as the homepage slider and PDF/catalog viewer, cannot be navigated or controlled using devices intended for persons with disabilities, and no alternative is provided.
- Text in the form of image files is used in dynamic parts of the site (slider, mouseover transitions, and animations).
- Certain elements that are not always displayed do not open and close via click or touch (but rather by hovering over the button).
Vela Yacht is working on removing these identified non-compliances and will endeavor to resolve them as soon as possible.
