The municipality joins organizations that are committed to inclusive and accessible websites for everyone.
Sant Just reinforces its commitment to digital accessibility by hiring Kawaru Consulting to implement our partner's accessibility widget Bemyvega on its municipal website. A strategic decision that positions the City Council at the forefront of inclusive digital transformation.
Web accessibility: a right, not an option
The decision by Sant Just City Council responds to a growing trend among public administrations and private organizations: adapting their websites to be usable by all people, regardless of their abilities or limitations.
«Web accessibility is not a luxury, it’s a fundamental right,» states Kawaru Consulting, a specialist in digital transformation and user experience. Bemyvega’s widget positions itself as a comprehensive solution to ensure that no user is left out.
What is the Bemyvega accessibility widget?
This is an advanced technological tool that integrates into web portals, allowing users to customize their browsing experience to suit their specific needs. This includes options such as increasing font size, modifying contrast, adjusting playback speed, and enabling keyboard navigation.
The solution adapts in real time to the preferences of each visitor, significantly improving their user experience without requiring structural changes to the website.
