1) Introduction

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest.

Below you will find information on the accessibility of our online services.

We will inform you about it,

  • which offer and which functions you can expect on this website,
  • how you can use this offer and the functions,
  • which options for barrier-free use are available to you and
  • which authority is responsible for monitoring accessibility on this website.

 

2) Offer and functions of this website

This website is an online shop for the sale of services.

You will be presented with services that can be added to an electronic shopping basket and then ordered and paid for.

This website has a header and a footer menu.

The services we sell are listed by category in the header menu and can be called up individually from there.

Each service is described with further information on its key features, the scope of services and the total price on a separate detail page. From there, it can be added to the electronic shopping basket.

You can also visit the electronic shopping basket via the header menu as soon as you have added at least one product to it. The electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed from this shopping basket.

In the footer menu you will find links to our imprint with our contact information as well as information on the legal basis of our online offer, payment options and links to other helpful service pages.

 

3) Explanations on the use of the offer and the functions

3.1 Virtual buttons

This website can be operated via virtual buttons.

3.2 Start, overview and detail pages

On the homepage, you will find a selection of products on offer in the centre of the page. Interacting with a product presentation will take you to the product detail page.

You can navigate between the different product categories in the header menu.
After selecting a category, you will be taken to an overview page where all products in this category are displayed.

Interaction with a product presentation on the overview page takes you to the product detail page.

In addition to all the essential information about the product and the total price, the product detail pages may contain a quantity selection element and a shopping basket button.

If available, the desired order quantity can be specified via the quantity selection.

3.3 Electronic shopping basket

By clicking on the shopping basket button, you add the product (in the selected quantity, if applicable) to the electronic shopping basket.

This electronic shopping basket can be called up at any time via the header menu.

Here you can first check the products you have added. Using the corresponding buttons, products can be removed again or, if relevant, the order quantity can be changed.

3.4 Electronic ordering process

After checking, you can complete the electronic ordering process by interacting with the corresponding buttons.

To do this, you will first be asked to enter your contact details (at least name, e-mail address and delivery or billing address) in the input mask.

In the next step, you can then choose between the available delivery and service options.

Finally, you can choose one of the available payment methods, enter the necessary payment details and finalise the order.

The binding placement of the order only takes place when the button provided for this purpose is pressed on the final order page. It is labelled "Buy", "Buy now", "Order with obligation to pay" or another clear formulation.

Before pressing this order button, you can navigate back to the previous steps and/or cancel the order process at any time using the "Back" button on your browser.

If you have chosen to pay using an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider's system to make the payment there.

 

4) Legal requirements for accessibility

As an online shop, this website belongs to the so-called "services in electronic business transactions" and is characterised by 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 be

  • perceptible
  • operable
  • understandable and
  • robust

be designed.

Perceptibility 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 intellect.

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

Finally, robustness requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even if users use digital tools.

If there are products for sale in the online shop that are subject to specific accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products where available.

 

5) Available aids for barrier-free use

This website fulfils the accessibility requirements through the following measures:

  • Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are equipped with alternative texts that provide a brief description of the image and can be processed by screen readers (screen reading aids).
  • Adjustability of the colour contrast: The colour contrast of the side elements can be adjusted. It can be raised or lowered.
  • Accessible captchas: To ensure that inputs are of human origin, so-called "captchas" may be used. These captchas can be operated not only by visual categorisation using sight, but also by solving simple mental tasks.
  • Operability via mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated both via mouse and keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and operated in the online shop using the keyboard control keys.
  • 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 which separates the presentation of the page content in terms of layout, colour and design from its content structure. This makes it possible for digital tools to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
  • Checked correctness of HTML codes: All HTML codes are permanently checked for functionality in order to rule out functional failures and the inability to be captured by digital aids.
  • Sufficient spacing between characters: Characters are displayed at a sufficient distance from each other so as not to impair legibility.
  • Compatibility with screen readers: The content of the online shop is compatible with all common screen readers (screen reading aids) and can be read and processed by them.
  • Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The content, elements and functions automatically adapt their dimensions to the size of the screen being used.
  • Scalability (visibility when enlarged): Page elements and content remain legible in high resolution even when enlarged.
  • Strong colour contrast: A strong contrast between the colours of characters and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimum visibility of the page elements.
  • Text notes if input fields are not completed: If mandatory input fields are not completed, a text message is displayed in addition to a coloured highlight. This note clarifies which information is missing in the input field.
  • Subtitles in videos: Embedded videos are equipped with subtitles to enable deaf people to watch them without restrictions.
