Accessibility Statement

An Accessibility Statement is a great move.
It shows social responsibility and helps with SEO, as search engines favor accessible sites. While Switzerland doesn't have a strict "ADA-style" law for private commercial websites yet (unlike the public sector), aligning with WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the gold standard.

Here is a professional statement for Syriana.com.

        1. Our Commitment

Syriana GmbH is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is inclusive.

        2. Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Syriana.com is working toward partial conformity with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformity means that some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard (e.g., older PDF documents or third-party video embeds).

        3. Accessibility Features

To make our website easier to use, we focus on the following:

  • Navigation: Logical tab orders and skip-links for keyboard users.

  • Contrast: Maintaining high color contrast for text and interface elements.

  • Scalability: Ensuring the site remains functional when zoomed up to 200%.

  • Alt-Text: Providing descriptive text for non-decorative images.

  • Readable Fonts: Using clean, sans-serif typography for better legibility.
    4. Technical Specifications

Accessibility of Syriana.com relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

  • HTML

  • WAI-ARIA

  • CSS

  • JavaScript

    5. Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Syriana.com, there may be some limitations. Please contact us if you observe an issue. Known limitations include:

  • Third-party content: We cannot always control the accessibility of third-party plugins (e.g., Google Maps or social media feeds).

  • Legacy Media: Some older videos may not feature full closed-captioning.
