In brief — easy-to-read

Design principles

The portal is built to WCAG guidelines. The layout is mobile-first and keeps its content and functions from a width of 320 CSS px without horizontal scrolling, in both light and dark mode.

What we provide

  • Semantic HTML with landmarks (header, navigation, main content, footer) and exactly one H1 per page.
  • A “skip to content” link at the start of every page.
  • Full keyboard support and a clearly visible focus indicator.
  • All images have alternative text; decorative icons are hidden from screen readers (aria-hidden).
  • ARIA where it helps: the FAQ accordion (aria-expanded), breadcrumbs and active navigation (aria-current), and descriptive labels for links and buttons.
  • The site map is keyboard-accessible (labelled markers), and the museum comparison table is a focusable scroll region.
  • Respect for reduced-motion preferences (prefers-reduced-motion) — animations are disabled.
  • The content language is marked (lang attribute) with hreflang for the Polish and English versions.
