4) Legal requirements for accessibility
As an online shop, this website is classified as an ‘electronic commerce service’ and features an electronic ordering and payment system.
It is subject to special legal requirements regarding accessibility.
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 therefore be
- perceivable
- operable
- understandable and
- robust
in order to be accessible.
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.
Operability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with limited mobility or intellectual disabilities.
Comprehensibility requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily recognisable and unambiguously labelled.

5) Available aids for accessible use
This website meets accessibility requirements through the following measures:
- Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are provided with alternative texts that give a brief description of the image and can be processed by screen readers (screen reading aids).
- Usability with mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated with both a mouse and a keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and activated in the online shop using the control keys on the keyboard.
- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the presentation of the page content in terms of layout, colour and design from its content structure. This enables digital aids to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
- Verified correctness of HTML codes: All HTML codes are permanently checked for functionality to rule out malfunctions and the inability to be detected by digital aids.
- 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 dimensions of the content, elements and functions automatically adapt to the size of the screen used.
- Strong colour contrast: A strong contrast between font colours and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimal visibility of the page elements.
