Non-accessible content
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the SETIS website, we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.
Known limitations for the SETIS website:
- Non-accessible documents: Many documents are in PDF format and are not accessible.
- Graphs and charts – use of colour: In some charts the contrast between foreground and background colors doesn't meet the WCAG 2 AA minimum contrast ratio thresholds. Explanation of the charts have either been added as alt text descriptions or references to more detailed information on the subject have been added to the page.
- Heading hierarchy: Some headings do not follow the correct heading hierarchy, which can cause problems for screen reader users. We plan to fix this by end of 2025.
- Images: Some decorative images are marked up as informative images without a text alternative. We plan to fix this by February 2026.
- Links: Image links in a list of links for a video gallery don't always have a proper text alternative. We plan to fix this by February 2026.
- Footer: Links in the footer are not always visually distinguishable from ordinary text. We plan to fix this by end of February 2026.
- Video player – keyboard accessibility: We are aware of some issues with the keyboard accessibility of our video player (when selecting the caption language from the menu, it is not possible to use the arrow keys to move between languages, this can only be done with the TAB key).
- Audio description: Videos on this website do not have audio description.
