Website accessibility statement

We strive to make our website accessible in accordance with the Accessibility Act, as amended, implementing the European Accessibility Directive (EU) RL 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements of products and services. This accessibility statement applies to www.ferienwohnung-sand.at

Note: This accessibility statement refers exclusively to our website. It does not make any statement about the structural accessibility of our premises.

 
Status of compliance with requirements
Due to the following incompatibilities and/or exceptions, this website is partially compliant with conformity level AA of the ‘Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – WCAG 2.2’ and the applicable European standard EN 301 549.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not yet accessible for the following reasons:

a)    Incompatibility with accessibility regulations

1.1.1 - This success criterion is currently not fully met, as the website contains a large number of images that still lack alternative descriptions. We are continuously working on adding these captions.
1.3.1 - Some visually highlighted text areas are not programmatically marked as headings. The heading structure is being optimised step by step.
1.3.3 - Individual links or buttons are distinguished solely by colour, which means that the success criterion is not met.
1.3.5 - Some form fields – especially in the contact form – do not contain ‘autocomplete’ attributes and therefore do not meet the criterion.
1.4.1 - Links, for example in continuous text or navigation, are sometimes only highlighted in colour. This means that the success criterion is not met.
1.4.3 - Some texts and graphic elements do not meet the required contrast ratios. Optimisation is planned.
1.4.13 - Some navigation content only appears on hover, but is not accessible via keyboard.
2.2.2 - Some elements do not have controls for pausing or stopping (sliders, carousels, automatically updating elements, etc.).2.4.1 - Skiplinks for skipping recurring content are not available.
2.4.6 - Headings and form elements are not always clearly or descriptively named.
2.4.7 - The focus indicator for keyboard navigation is not consistently visible.
2.4.11 - The focus disappears when menus or controls such as accordions are not open.
2.5.3 - Some controls are missing visible labels that reflect their accessible names.
2.5.8 - Some buttons or clickable elements are smaller than the recommended minimum size of 24 x 24 pixels.
3.3.1 - Incorrect entries are not clearly identified or described as such.
3.3.2 - Form elements are not consistently labelled or explained.
3.3.3 - No specific instructions are given for correcting errors.
3.3.4 - Important data entries cannot be checked or undone before submission.
3.3.7 - Users sometimes have to enter the same information multiple times.
3.3.8 - Forms contain CAPTCHA queries that are not accessible.
4.1.2 - Not all buttons or interactive elements convey their state (e.g. expanded or selected) programmatically correctly.
4.1.3 - Changes such as progress indicators or errors are not automatically communicated to assistive technologies.

b)    Disproportionate burden

We believe that rectification would constitute a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility provisions.

c)    The content does not fall within the scope of the applicable legislation

The website contains older documents and content that are not accessible. As these were published before 28 June 2025, they are exempt from the Accessibility Act and no comprehensive changes are currently planned for them.

The website contains documents and content from third-party providers that are neither developed, financed nor controlled by us. No statement can be made regarding the compatibility of this third-party content with the accessibility regulations, and it is therefore also exempt from the requirements of the Accessibility Act.
 

Creation of the accessibility statement

This statement was created on 21 May 2025.
The website's compliance with the Accessibility Act was assessed in the form of a self-test in accordance with the AA guidelines of WCAG 2.2.
