Accessibility statement
How accessible FreierTermin is and how to report barriers to us.
This English version is provided for convenience. The German version is the reference text.
Our goal
FreierTermin should be usable for everyone – on a smartphone, with a keyboard, with a screen reader and with magnification. We develop against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
Compliance status
FreierTermin is partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA. A full audit by an independent body has not yet taken place. We test automatically (axe-core) and manually with keyboard and screen reader.
What we pay attention to during development
- Keyboard operation with visible focus and a “Skip to content” link
- Buttons and inputs with a touch target of at least 44 × 44 pixels
- Colour contrast according to WCAG AA as a design system requirement, light and dark mode
- Availability always as text (“Available”, “No appointments found” …), never by colour alone
- Several languages, Arabic with right-to-left layout
Known limitations
- Map views are only partially usable with screen readers. The goal is to offer all locations as a list as well. [REVIEW: check against the map page before publishing]
- Translations other than German and English are partly incomplete; missing texts appear in German.
- Legal texts are currently only available in German and English.
- The authorities’ official booking pages are not our responsibility and are not always accessible.
- Sounds and vibration of push notifications depend on device and browser and cannot be controlled everywhere.
