The Dolenjska Museum is committed to making its website https://www.dolenjskimuzej.si/ accessible in accordance with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 30/18, 95/21 – ZInfV-A, 189/21 – ZDU-1M, and 18/23 – ZDU-1O).
Level of compliance
The website is partially compliant with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act. To ensure a positive user experience on our websites, we have followed the WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), which are divided into three levels of compliant content: A, AA, and AAA. We strive to be at least AA compliant.
Accessible content
The following system adjustments ensure accessibility for persons with special needs:
- responsive design with content adaptation to the resolution of the user’s screen,
- logical and consistent website content layout with HTML tags and different heading levels enabled. The page can be enlarged up to 400% without loss of content or functionality, links on the page are recognizable,
- images with the option of entering alternative text, text icons are marked as images,
- the option for the user to select a larger black/white pointer via the accessibility tool,
- the option for users to mark links using the accessibility tool,
- the option for users to increase the contrast using the accessibility tool (4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text),
- the option for users to select a gray mode for the website or invert colors using the accessibility tool,
- the option for users to adjust font size using the appropriate keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + + and Ctrl + -), for easier setup, a preset magnification is already built into the accessibility tool,
- the option for users to bold the font or increase the spacing between letters via the accessibility tool,
- the option for users to disable element animations and automatic slider movements via the accessibility tool,
- hidden shortcuts that allow quick access to content and/or the main menu,
- the option to navigate the website without using a mouse, using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, which allow users to navigate the menu,
- a predictable website with a built-in page index, which makes it easier for users to access content, and a search engine that can also be used.
- logical link names that reflect the destination,
- accessibility of online forms,
- optimization and accessibility of the website for all readers,
- the website does not contain flashing content, except for the automatic display of images on certain pages. The website is safe to use for all user groups who may experience different reactions or seizures due to rapid changes and flashing elements.
Individual accessibility options on the website can be enabled by clicking on the appropriate menu icon for people with special needs (eye) displayed in the left corner of the page. Once you have activated the accessibility settings, it may take some time for all the adjustments to be applied, and you may need to reload the page.
Assessment of disproportionate burden
We constantly monitor the accessibility of the website and improve individual accessibility elements on an ongoing basis. Nevertheless, some published content and external inserts may not meet all accessibility requirements as defined by the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act.
- scanned documents in PDF format,
- programmatically generated documents (e.g., annual reports),
- various complex tables with data,
- in the case of publication, some videos may not be equipped with subtitles and/or sign language,
- some photos on the website may not yet be accompanied by alternative text or it may not be clear from the accompanying text what they represent, in which case we enable you to access these documents in another way (you can write to us by post or email, contact details are provided below). For those documents that are not yet in an accessible format, we allow you to request a version in an accessible format and we will prepare the document accordingly.
The reason for the above-mentioned partial compliance is the disproportionate burden that would be placed on the Dolenjska Museum. The Dolenjska Museum considers this to be a disproportionate burden because it would have significant financial consequences if it wanted to adapt the entire content appropriately (adding all alternative text for images, translating videos into sign language and/or providing subtitles or otherwise adapting them in accordance with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act), as the volume of content is very large. In assessing the disproportionate burden, the Dolenjska Museum also took into account the internal organization and type of activities it performs, in addition to the significant financial consequences, it also took into account its internal organisation and the type of activities it performs, and is proceeding in accordance with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act, which, for these very reasons, allows for the aforementioned deviations in accordance with the assessment of disproportionate burden and on the basis of this Accessibility Statement.
