Website accessibility

Approach

The lacaisse.com website aims to provide content that complies with the website accessibility standards (SGQRI 008-01) adopted by the Québec Treasury Board.

To ensure its site is compliant, in accordance with the requirements set out in standard SGQRI 008‑03 (in French only), La Caisse has commissioned a specialized firm to conduct formal, functional tests using the tools indicated below.

Description of the rules put in place to ensure site compliance

• Page titles describe content
• The keyboard can be used to navigate the site and access most functions
• The navigation and presentation mechanisms are consistent from page to page
• Content on each page is accessible via a direct link
• Section titles show a consistent hierarchy
• Text is written in clear and simple language
• Most informational images have alternate text
• Most links are labelled to facilitate navigation
• Colour contrasts make the site easier to read
• Tables are simplified and correctly tagged
• Language changes are correctly tagged
• Content can be accessed in a variety of ways: menus, search engine and sitemap
• Changing the focus or input field does not change the context, save for exceptions
• Colour is not used as the only way to convey information

Tools used to check compliance

• NVDA + Chrome: combination used most often by screen reader users
• Axe Dev Tools (version 4.114.1): extension for Chrome, including HTML validator
• Color Contrast Analyser (version 2.5): to verify colour contrasts
• PDF Accessibility Checker (version 24.3.2.0): to evaluate PDF documents
