Accessibility Statement

ZEVI is committed to providing information and services, which are fully accessible to all of our customers.

The aim with the website is to make it as accessible as possible regardless of the ability or disability of the user. Good design improves access for all users.

 

Website Design

The website has been designed in a manner that avoids clutter and provides a consistent navigation style. The use of colour, breadcrumbs and links to the main thematic areas on each page allows for easier navigation.

The website content is separated from the presentational elements, which makes it available to visitors using technologies such as screen readers.

We feel that users should be easily able to identify which category the information they require falls into.

 

PDF/Adobe Format

Some of the information on this website is available in PDF format to provide for easier reading and printing of documents. This format is not always accessible.

Adobe Reader is required to view PDF files on this site. A free copy can be downloaded from the Adobe website (external link).

 

Search

A search engine has been included, which has improved the retrieval of documents and also allows for an advanced search function.

 

Images

All images have ALT descriptions unless they are decorative in which case they have null values.

 

Tables

The use of tables has been kept to a minimum on the site.
