European Accessibility Act EAA and Stacks

1

European Accessibility Act EAA concerns websites from companies who deliver goods/services to consumers and/or governments.

Digital accessibility is the design and development of digital products, such as websites, apps and documents, so that they can be used by people with various disabilities, such as visual, auditory, motor or cognitive impairments. The goal is to make technology accessible to everyone, so that all users can have the same access and experience, regardless of their abilities. Digital accessibility provides access to information and services for everyone, including people with disabilities.

In The Netherlands we have to include this before the 28th of june!

My question is if there are solutions/stacks/plugins tot integrate accessibility into websites made with Rapidweaver?

thanks in advance

If you are already using Foundation 6, you are already done.

There were a couple great talks about Accessibility at the Stacks Summit last year, if you have access to the videos.

Dived into to the matter deeper. For example, how can you achieve keyboard operability for interactive elements like menu and links within Foundation6 ?

Foundation menus and buttons and links are navigable with simply the tab button.

There is a skip link template in the free template pack. This is useful for accessibility to assist user with assistive devices to jump directly to the main content of a page.
