4. Technical and Administrative Measures Taken for Accessibility

4.1. Tasarım ve Kodlama Aşamasındaki Prensipler

1. Use of Semantic HTML

  • Elements such as headings (<h1>–<h6>), paragraphs (<p>), lists (<ul>, <ol>, <li>), tables (<table>), form elements (<label>, <input>, <button>, <select> etc.) are coded with tags appropriate for their purpose.

  • Page sections are separated by semantic containers such as <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <aside>, <footer>.

2. Color and Contrast Management

  • All text and background color combinations provide a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1.

  • Links, buttons, or focusable elements are designed to have a visually distinct difference between hover and focus states (e.g. underline, background color change).

3. Alternative Text for Images (Alt Text)

  • All informative and functional images are added with a descriptive alt attribute.

  • Using alt="" (empty alt text) on decorative images prevents screen readers from providing unnecessary information.

  • For video content, a written summary or text version (transcript) is provided attached to each video.

4. Keyboard Access and Focus Management

  • All interactive elements (button, link, form element, drop-down menu) can be accessed with the Tab key and activated with Enter or Space.

  • During opening modals, popups, or dynamic content updates, the focus is moved to the first accessible element within the modal/popup (focus trap). After closing, the focus is returned to the element that opened the modal.

  • The “Skip to Content” link allows you to quickly get rid of the navigation menu at the top of the page and focus on the main content.

5. Form Labeling and Error Notifications

  • A descriptive <label> tag or the aria-label/aria-labelledby attribute is added to each <input> or <textarea> element.

  • Required fields use aria-required="true"; in case of form validation error, aria-invalid="true" and aria-describedby are used to associate the error message for screen readers.

  • In addition to color, error messages are also highlighted with icons and text; for example, descriptive sentences such as “This field is required” or “Invalid email format”.

4.2. Velo by Wix and Platform-Based Accessibility

1. Wix Accessibility Tools

  • The Wix engine integrates the “Wix Accessibility Checker”, which provides accessibility checks and automatic suggestions. This checker detects common errors such as color contrast, form labels, lack of alt text, and generates alerts for developers.

  • Site pages are controlled via the Wix Editor via the “Alt Text” and “Accessibility Settings” tabs.

2. Velo by Wix Custom Coding

  • The JavaScript codes, API calls and dynamic content generation processes running in the Velo backend were written with accessibility libraries (e.g. ARIA specifications) in mind.

  • For example, dynamic result boxes for calculation tools have been updated to be read to screen readers with the aria-live="polite" specification when the result is generated.

4.3. Live Chat (Wix Chat / Tawk.to) Accessibility

1. Wix Chat

  • Wix’s own live chat plugin is designed for keyboard navigation. Once the chat box is open, it is possible to access the “Send” button with the keyboard instead of the mouse.

  • Visual elements (icon, emoji) are supported in chat only with annotations (alt text).

  • The team regularly evaluates feedback from disabled users to improve focus order and sound notification options.

2. Tawk.to Live Chat

  • The Tawk.to widget is accessible using ARIA rate limiters (aria-controls, aria-expanded) and role assignments (role="dialog").

  • Focus management when the widget is opened and closed has been adjusted according to the sample code suggested by Tawk.to.

  • In the Tawk.to chat window, there is the phrase “Keyboard Accessible” next to the mouse cursor and information text about keyboard shortcuts.

4.4. Third Party Videos and Media Content

  • If the Site includes YouTube or Vimeo integrated videos, for each video, within the framework of accessibility:

  • Closed Caption: Each video content available is accompanied by accurate subtitles that reflect the audio narration and dialogues.

  • Transcript/Summary: Alternatively, written text summaries of all or portions of the video content are presented immediately below the video or in a separate text block titled “Video Summary.”

  • Controls: Play/Pause/Rewind/Fast-forward buttons, accessible via keyboard navigation; aria-label attribute added for each function.

4.5. Mobil ve Duyarlı Tasarım (Responsive Design)

  • edverd.com uses a fully compatible and flexible design (responsive layout) for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets).

  • All browser sizes have been tested to ensure that there are no accessibility issues in horizontal and vertical rotations.

  • Mobile keyboard navigation has been tested with a screen reader (TalkBack, VoiceOver) and the focus order is set correctly for elements such as navigation menus, form fields, buttons, etc.

5. Known Limitations and Improvements

1. External Advertising and Tracking Codes

  • Google AdSense reklam birimleri, bazen erişilebilirlik gerekliliklerini tam karşılamayan <iframe> yapıları oluşturabilir. Bu nedenle; reklam birimlerine title="Reklam" ve aria-hidden="true" öznitelikleri eklendi.

  • Facebook Pixel kodu, tamamen gizli bir izleme mekanizması olduğundan erişilebilirlik üzerinde doğrudan etkisi sınırlıdır; yine de Site içi başlık hiyerarşisine ve alt metin kullanımına dikkat edilerek olası semantik bozulmalar giderildi.

2. Dynamic Modal and Popup Contents

  • Campaign announcement popups or product recommendation modals may not have full focus management. Currently, focus trap may not be fully activated in some browser and screen reader combinations.

  • Planned improvement: Fully harmonize ARIA implementations (aria-modal, aria-hidden) and inert attributes in CSS and JavaScript layer. This work is targeted to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.

 3. Video İçeriklerinde Sesli Anlatım Eksikliği

  • Some video promotional and educational content on the Site currently do not have the “Audio Description” feature.

  • Improvement plan: Add detailed audio narration throughout for users with low vision by end of 2025; standardize accessibility for all newly added video content by early 2026.

4. Third Party Map Integration (Mapbox / Google Maps)

  • In Mapbox or Google Maps map components, keyboard navigation and screen reader interaction may be limited.

  • Currently; alternative text (e.g. “Map: edverd.com physical store location”) has been added to the map content, but the written address information has been moved to the top for detailed navigation.

  • Improvement plan: Additional JavaScript code will be implemented in map components by the last quarter of 2025 to fully comply with ARIA features (role="application", aria-roledescription) and to enable zooming/editing with the keyboard.

6. User Contribution and Feedback
