Accessibility

This page is about the accessibility and usability of our website. If you're looking for information on physical accessibility for a visit to Whitelee Windfarm, please read our visitor accessibility page.


At Whitelee Windfarm Visitor Centre one of our prime objectives is to ensure that everyone, regardless of disabilities, age or the type of technology used, is able to access our website without barriers.

Based on this commitment, the Whitelee Windfarm Visitor Centre website has been designed in compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 established by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). These guidelines are also the core for standards such as ISO/IEC 40500 or UNE 139803:2012.

In 2019 we received our accessibility certificate, issued by ILUNION Tecnología y Accesibilidad as evidence of our commitment and of the tasks completed in relation to audit, consultancy and certification of our website.

The following functionality has been implemented on the Whitelee Windfarm Visitor Centre website to allow easier access to website content:

  • All content text meets the size and colour contrast requirements defined by the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0.
  • Web pages are clearly structured to support systems such as graphic display readers. We have included HTML section headers, roles and and other elements which should enhance the readability of the website for all users.
  • The HTML and CSS comply with web standards and should have a consistent appearance across different modern web browsers.
  • ALT tags and ARIA labels have been used to allow graphic display readers to parse infographics and other complex images.
