Accessibility statement
This accessibility statement applies to the website www.eggerhaus.at.
It was last updated on March 11, 2026.
We at the Eggerhaus Cultural Association strive to make our website as accessible as possible, in accordance with current digital accessibility requirements. Our goal is to provide everyone – regardless of their individual physical or technical abilities – with the easiest possible access to information about the Eggerhaus, its history, events, and offerings.
We are constantly working to improve the content, structure and usability of the website so that it can be used as easily as possible by people with disabilities, older people and users of assistive technologies.
What is accessibility?
An accessible website is designed so that it can be used by as many people as possible without assistance or particular difficulties. This includes, in particular, people with visual impairments, hearing impairments, motor limitations, cognitive impairments, or temporary disabilities.
Digital accessibility means, among other things, that content is clearly structured, texts are easy to read, controls are clearly labeled, and functions can be used without a mouse – for example, with a keyboard or screen reader. Similarly, contrast, font sizes, alternative text for images, and a logical navigation structure should contribute to making the website accessible to as many people as possible.
Declaration regarding partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content
We strive to design and continuously improve the Eggerhaus website according to accessibility principles. In doing so, we pay particular attention to the following points:
-
a clear and understandable page structure
-
Meaningful headings and well-structured content
-
simple and easy-to-understand navigation
-
sufficient color contrasts between text and backgrounds
-
Easy-to-read font sizes and clear layout
-
Alternative text for key images and graphic content
-
best possible usability with keyboard
-
the best possible usability with supporting technologies such as screen readers
-
understandable wording and reduced text complexity
-
restrained use of animations and moving content
Furthermore, accessibility aspects will be considered as early as possible in the development of new content and future updates. Existing content will be continuously reviewed and improved within the scope of available technical and organizational resources.
Status of compliance with requirements
This website is partially compliant with accessibility requirements.
Some of the content and functions already meet essential requirements for accessible use. However, there may still be areas where full accessibility has not yet been achieved.
This applies particularly to older content or technical elements that have not yet been fully revised. We are working to identify and remove existing barriers step by step.
Non-accessible content
Despite our efforts, some content on the website may not yet be fully accessible. This may include, in particular, the following:
-
Older PDF documents or embedded files that are not fully accessible
-
individual images or historical illustrations where alternative texts still need to be added or improved
-
Audio, video or archive material that cannot yet be made fully accessible in every respect
-
embedded content or technical components from third-party providers, over whose design and accessibility we have only limited influence.
-
There are a few user interface elements that are not yet optimally labelled or content areas that are incompletely structured.
Because the Eggerhaus, as a historical and cultural site, works with many archived, documentary, and visual materials, it may happen that older content is not immediately available in a fully accessible format. Where possible, we are working on continuous improvement.
Explanation of partial compliance due to disproportionate burden
In some cases, making older content or archived documents fully accessible can currently involve a disproportionately high organizational, personnel, or financial effort. This applies particularly to historical documents, older documents, scanned material, or previously published media content.
However, we strive to provide key information on the website itself in an easily accessible format. If you require specific content in a more accessible format, please feel free to contact us. In such cases, we will try to offer a customized solution.
Third-party content
Certain areas of the website may contain content or features from third-party providers over whose accessibility we have no complete control. This includes, for example, embedded maps, videos, external booking or event services, social media content, or other technical integrations.
Therefore, complete accessibility cannot be guaranteed for this content. However, we strive to ensure the best possible accessibility when selecting and using such services.
Preparation of this declaration
This statement was prepared based on an internal review and an assessment of the website's current content and functionality. It is regularly reviewed and updated whenever significant changes are made to the website.
