This website has a header and footer menu.

In the header menu, the goods we sell are listed by category and can be accessed individually from there.

Each item is described on its own detail page with further information about its essential characteristics, the scope of delivery and the total price.

4) Legal requirements for accessibility

As an online shop, this website is classified as a ‘service in electronic business’ and features an electronic ordering and payment option.

Special legal requirements for accessibility apply to them.

In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are tailored to the needs of people with disabilities and enable usability with digital aids.

The online shop functions of this website must therefore be

perceptible
operable
understandable and
robust

perceivable operable understandable robust

Perceivability means that the information and components of the online shop are presented in such a way that they can be easily perceived by all users.

Usability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with limited mobility or mental abilities.

Comprehensibility requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily recognisable and unambiguously labelled.

Finally, robustness requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even when users employ digital aids.

If the online shop sells products that are subject to its own accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products, where available.

5) Available aids for accessible use

This website meets accessibility requirements through the following measures:

Browser-independent page output: The content and functions of this website are available in the same layout, orientation and resolution regardless of the browser used.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the presentation of the page content in terms of layout, colour and design from its content structure. This enables digital aids to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
Verified correctness of HTML codes: All HTML codes are permanently checked for functionality to rule out malfunctions and prevent them from being detected by digital aids.
Sufficient spacing between characters: Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing between them so as not to impair readability.
Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The dimensions of the content, elements and functions automatically adapt to the size of the screen used.
Strong colour contrast: A strong contrast between the colours of characters and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimal visibility of the page elements.
Text prompts for incomplete input fields: If mandatory input fields are not filled in, a colour highlight is accompanied by a text prompt. This prompt indicates which information is missing in the input field.

6) Remaining barriers

Unfortunately, complete accessibility is difficult to achieve. The following content is still subject to restrictions:

PDF documents, especially for extended article data
individual shop elements that cannot be operated with the keyboard or screen reader
externally integrated content such as payment methods, the accessibility of which we cannot influence
