Compliance Level
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define digital accessibility standards for people with disabilities. These guidelines are divided into three levels of compliance: A, AA, and AAA, with level AA being the one recommended by the European standard.
In Wallonia, the transposition of the European directive into legislation requires public organizations to ensure the accessibility of their websites and mobile applications by adhering to the following principles:
- Information and interface elements must be presented in a way that users can perceive.
- Navigation and interaction with interface components must be easy.
- Content and functionalities must be understandable.
- The content must be robust enough to be reliably interpreted by various user agents, including assistive technologies.
In accordance with these requirements, the website portdeliege.be is partially accessible and meets the following criteria:
- A display width that allows significant zooming.
- Uniform content between mobile and desktop versions.
- Sufficient overall color contrast.
- Alternative text for non-decorative images.
- Appropriate use of semantic title tags.
- No exclusive use of color to convey information.
- Keyboard navigation is possible for all functionalities, except for the interactive map in the section Our 33 Port Areas.
- Explicit page titles.
- A site map is available.
- Clear identification of links based on their text alone.
