Accessibility statement – Aalto Shop

Aalto University's shop.aalto.fi is subject to the EU's accessibility directive, the aim of which is to ensure equality in a digitalized society and set uniform requirements for accessibility.

Shop.aalto.fi was launched on 25.06.2014. The site's current accessibility is not compliant with WCAG 2.1 requirements. The requirements of the Directive have been taken into account in the development of the website, and the work continues. The information in this statement is based on self-assessment.

Aalto Shop is committed to observing accessibility standards. The following measures are implemented in order to achieve this goal:

·      accessibility is part of our mission statement,

·      accessibility has been taken into account in the university practices,

·      a member of staff has been appointed to be responsible for accessibility at the university.

Aalto Shop objective is to maintain a website that is technically accessible and understandable in terms of its contents and that is clear and easy to use for all types of users.

Shop.aalto.fi partly does not meet the requirements for accessibility. The website requires further improvements, however, in the following areas:

·      font sizes,

·      contrasts,

·      Image descriptions (alt texts),

·      ARIA elements

We will respond to your feedback within two weeks, at the latest.

We are actively working to address the accessibility issues that have been identified.
