In recent years, websites have become a major and important platform aimed at publishing information, services and products offered by a company to the general public.
This website contains a lot of information about ALYN Hospital, which is a unique center for the rehabilitation of children and youth. Information about the hospital and its various treatments can be found on the website. This includes information about the treatment staff, the various departments and services offered in the hospital, details about the outpatient clinics, quick contact with the staff and more.
Due to the great importance of the information we publish within the framework of the website to the general population, we are committed to facilitating the best and easiest browsing experience, combining all the means at our disposal.

The adaptations made on the site were tested using the most common browsers: Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. For a pleasant and optimal browsing experience with screen reading software, we recommend using the latest version of NVDA software.
In order to make the site accessible to people with disabilities, a large number of actions were carried out, including:

- Creating proper logical focus order when navigating the site using the keyboard.
- Creating a clear visual effect when navigating the site using the keyboard.
- Creating a clear and conspicuous visual contrast when hovering over clickable elements such as buttons and links.
- Using unique headings in appropriate hierarchical order according to the information provided on the page.

Adjustments made to the site for website surfers that are using screen reading software:

Use of an element to change the color contrast on the site
As part of the process of making the site accessible, a dedicated component was implemented that enables changing the colors on the site in order to create a high contrast between the color of the content and that of the background. The aim of the component is to optimize the visibility and the information appearing on the site to suit to visually impaired individuals.
To activate the component, click on the "EYE" icon that appears at the top and left of the site. You can click it using the mouse, or navigate to it using the keyboard by pressing the TAB key; clicking on the element again will return the site to its original color.
The consultation and accompaniment regarding the accessibility of ALYN Hospital's website was carried out by the WEB-A team, providing accessibility to sites, applications and advanced systems.
