Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

Radio Saranda recognises the importance of digital accessibility and is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our online services and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Goal

This website strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines define how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. While we aim for full conformance, we acknowledge that accessibility is an ongoing effort and some content may not yet fully meet every criterion.

Measures Taken

  • High Contrast & Dark Mode — Enhanced visual modes for users with low vision or light sensitivity.
  • Text Size Adjustment — Users can increase or decrease text size up to 150% without loss of content or functionality.
  • Dyslexia-Friendly Font — OpenDyslexic font option with increased letter and word spacing to support users with dyslexia.
  • Text-to-Speech — Users can select any text on the page to have it read aloud using the browser's speech synthesis engine.
  • Link Highlighting — Visual highlighting of all links for easier identification and navigation.
  • Stop Animations — Option to pause all page animations and transitions for users sensitive to motion (also respects the operating system's prefers-reduced-motion setting).
  • Large Cursor — Enlarged mouse cursor option for improved visibility.
  • Focus Mode — Enhanced focus indicators on all interactive elements for keyboard navigation.
  • Skip to Content — A keyboard-accessible link to bypass navigation and jump directly to the main content.
  • Keyboard Navigation — The website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard alone.
  • Semantic Markup & ARIA — Proper HTML structure, landmark roles, and ARIA attributes for screen reader compatibility.
  • Accessible Forms — All form inputs are associated with descriptive labels; status messages are announced to assistive technologies.

Accessibility Widget

An accessibility settings widget is available on every page of this website via the button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. User preferences are stored locally and persist across visits.

Multilingual Accessibility

All accessibility features and their labels are available in both English and Albanian (Shqip). The accessibility widget adapts automatically to the language of the current page.

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some limitations may exist. The following areas are known to require further attention:

  • Third-party embedded content (e.g., social media widgets, external maps) may not fully conform to WCAG 2.1 AA standards, as their accessibility is managed by their respective providers.
