What is Web Accessibility?

Web Accessibility is the design and the presentation of the web sites suitable for all the site visitors, handicapped or non-handicapped. If all the contents and functions of a web site is planned so as all the users to equally benefit from, we can say that the web site in question is configured in conformity with the accessibility principles.

Being conscious of the importance of Web Accessibility, Türk Telekom has updated its web site in order to provide the visitors of the web site fast and easy access without any problems. During the re-configuration of the web site of Türk Telekom, which has been designed so as to prevent the problems consequent to the technological insufficiency or browser problems, the web site has been arranged so that the visually-handicapped users can easily surf the web site and reach their targets as well as the general users.

In the new web site of Türk Telekom, the necessary operations in order the partially or totally visually-handicapped users to benefit from the site have been conducted. Visually-handicapped users can reach the site contents by the help of the programs vocalizing the written texts through meaningful HTML codes whose all visuals and links had been eloquently arranged. Similarly, considering the partially visually-handicapped or colour-blind people, different coloured links which are easy to notice are arranged, and the visuals and the text sizes are arranged in order to be made bigger or smaller according to user’s demand.

In the Great Britain, Ireland and Austria, web accessibility is protected through some obligatory rules by the laws against human discrimination. Working with the vision of Technology for the Customer, Türk Telekom believes that communication is a natural right for our every citizen, and it targets the technologies it presents to be easily used by all Türk Telekom subscribers.
