Reasons for developing an accessible web page

EuroMed 2010 wants to develop an accessible web page in order to be used for the maximum number of users as possible, regardless of their personal or technological limitations.

This development has been based on the application and conformance of the Accessibility Guidelines for accessible design established by the WAI ( www.w3.org/WAI ) belonging to the W3C ( www.w3.org )

Variable letter size and liquid design:
The design of the Web page has been made using relative units, e.g. the size of the text. Therefore the page will visualize correctly in any resolution and the user will be able, if he/she has the option, to vary the size of text.

All abbreviations used on the SEPG LA 2008 web page include their corresponding description.
Navigation bars:
The main navigation bar is always located in the same place and, where necessary, a secondary navigation bar appears. User will always have available all website pages.

All content on this site should be accessible using the TAB and ENTER keys on the keyboard to navigate the whole site.
