State of compliance
The vuisio.com site is declared non-compliant with the
RGAA, the French accessibility standard, version 4.1.
That status is not the outcome of an unfavourable audit: it follows from
the absence of an audit. The RGAA allows three states, compliant,
partially compliant and non-compliant, and permits the first two only on
the basis of a measured rate. We do not have that figure, so we declare
the third.
A site that calls itself « partially compliant » without ever having
been audited is asserting something it cannot demonstrate. That is
exactly the stance we refuse elsewhere on this site, on figures as on
certifications; there is no reason to make an exception here.
What the law requires, and what it does not
GEEZOT does not fall within the scope of the French digital
accessibility obligation. This statement is therefore voluntary.
Article 47 of the French act of 11 February 2005 covers public bodies and
companies with a turnover above two hundred and fifty million euros.
Neither applies to us.
We publish this page nonetheless, for two reasons. The first is that some
of our users, local authorities, schools and training providers, are
themselves covered and must be able to document what they deploy. The
second is that an accessibility barrier is still a barrier, whether the
law requires its removal or not.
What is in place
These points can be checked in the source of the site. They do not amount
to compliance: they are measures taken, not a measured result.
- The language of every page is declared, which lets speech synthesis pronounce it correctly.
- Keyboard focus is visible everywhere, with a three-pixel outline that does not rely on colour alone.
- A skip link reaches the content without going through the navigation.
- Entrance animations are disabled when the system signals a preference for reduced motion.
- The site stays readable and navigable without JavaScript: no animation hides content in its absence.
- Text and label contrasts were computed, not estimated by eye.
- Images that carry information have a text alternative; decorative images are explicitly ignored by screen readers.
What is missing
This is the list we know about. It is probably not complete, for want of
an audit.
- No RGAA audit has been carried out, neither internally nor by a third party. The compliance rate stated below is therefore not measured.
- The site has not been tested with a screen reader by someone who uses one daily.
- The comparison table on the home page scrolls horizontally on small screens; that behaviour has not been validated with the keyboard alone.
- The heading hierarchy has not been checked page by page.
- No test has been run with text enlarged to 200 %.
No date is promised for the audit. We would rather announce nothing than
display a deadline our size does not let us keep. When it is carried out,
the result will appear here, quantified and dated, including if it is bad.
Content not covered
The trailer on the home page has no subtitles. It carries no information
that is not also written as text on the same page, but that does not
replace subtitles. The player is the browser's own, with its native
controls, and is therefore usable with the keyboard.
Reporting a barrier
Write to contact@vuisio.com. An
accessibility report goes to the front of the queue.
Tell us the page concerned, what you were trying to do and what stopped
you. The hardware or software you use helps us a great deal, but only
share it if you want to.
If content on the site is inaccessible to you and you need it, ask: we
will send it to you in another form, within a reasonable time and at no
cost.
Right of appeal
If a report goes without a satisfactory answer, you can refer the matter
to the Défenseur des droits, the French rights ombudsman.
