According to the results of usability and accessibility testing to which it has been subjected over the last year, ANACOM's website is adapted to the needs of users with disabilities.
After the usability tests, conducted by the firm Work Value, and expert analysis of its accessibility, performed by the Human-Computer Interaction and Multimedia (HCIM) team, ANACOM has again put the accessibility of its website to the test, this time submitting it to a series of tests conducted by a group of users with different visual (partial and total blindness) and motor (severe and fine) disabilities. This study was also organized and led by the HCIM team, part of the LaSIGE Research Laboratory, Science Faculty of Universidade de Lisboa.
The study shows that "all established good practices were largely verified, whereby the user experience and, as a result, the level of satisfaction in interacting with the website was high for the users who participated in this evaluation process, compared to the general state of accessibility on the Web" and, in particular, compared to other public websites governed by Council of Ministers Resolution No 155/2007. Note is also made of the best practices of accessibility followed in the design, development and maintenance of ANACOM's website, which contribute largely to this fact, including:
1) Compliance with the rules of Web page structure and presentation;
2) The existence of alternative text and high contrast versions of the website;
3) The definition of a broad set of rules for editing content that enable full access to information.
The executive summary of the study is now available for consultation and the full report is available upon request. To receive a copy please contact ANACOM by sending an email to gestão.sitio@anacom.ptmailto:gestao.conteudos@anacom.pt.
