Accessibility information

What is accessibility?

In the digital landscape, accessibility means that websites and mobile apps can be used by everyone, including people with disabilities or special needs. For instance, someone with motor impairment might not be able to use a mouse, touchpad, or touchscreen. In such cases, it’s essential that every function and element on a website or app can be accessed using a keyboard.

Similarly, a person with visual impairment may not be able to see images or the user interface displayed on a screen. To accommodate this, images need descriptive text, and user interfaces must be compatible with screen readers.

Legal Framework and Standards

Website and mobile app accessibility is increasingly being mandated by laws. For example, the EU Directive 2016/2102 requires most public sector bodies to comply with web accessibility standards, compiled in EN 301 549. In Estonia, the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority oversees and enforces this directive.

EU Directive requires most public sector bodies to comply with web accessibility standards.

The same authority also monitors accessibility requirements in the private sector under the European Accessibility Act, known in Estonia as the Accessibility of Products and Services Act. This applies to sectors like:

WCAG Compliance

The standard mentioned earlier (EN 301 549) is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), specifically version 2.1 at the AA level.

While WCAG is not a formal standard, it’s a set of recommendations designed to make web content accessible to everyone. The guidelines themselves are fairly technical and can be confusing, especially for those new to web accessibility.

While WCAG is not a formal standard, it’s a set of recommendations designed to make web content accessible to everyone.

However, their broad scope and practical relevance have made WCAG the most well-known web accessibility guidelines globally.

For this website, we've considered WCAG 2.1 standards and aimed to meet at least AA compliance, with some elements from the stricter AAA level. We test the site internally and haven't yet involved third-party reviews for accessibility assessments.

In developing the site, we've taken into account users with visual, hearing, motor, speech, language, learning, and cognitive disabilities. If you encounter any accessibility issues or problems using the website, or if you need assistance, feel free to contact us at info@studioaugustine.ee.

We continually ensure accessibility is at the forefront when adding new content or making updates. Every change undergoes an internal accessibility check.

ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION

WHAT IS ACCESSIBILITY?
Accessibility means making websites
and apps easy for everyone to use,
including people with disabilities.

For example, someone with limited hand movement
can’t use a mouse and needs to navigate with a keyboard.

A person who can’t see well
might not see the images on a screen.
In this case, images need descriptions,
and the website must work with screen readers.

LAWS AND STANDARDS
Some laws require websites to be accessible to all.
In the EU, there is a law
that says public sector websites must be accessible.
In Estonia, this is checked by the Consumer Protection
and Technical Regulatory Authority.

The law also covers some private sector services, like:

COMPUTERS

  • ATMs and ticket machines
  • Smartphones
  • Banking services
  • E-commerce

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
These rules help make sure websites work for everyone.

At Studio Augustine,
we have built this website to work
for people with different needs, like:

  • People with vision, hearing, or speech problems
