Michael Tobisch created a new project Innsbruck spricht: barrierefrei
The whole project was completely done in DNN Platform, using Geoff Barlow's "DNN MDesign" skin. The stylesheets had to be modified to fit the disability access, e.g. to navigate without a mouse, to visually highlight the focus etc. Loycos, an agency for barrier-free communication with a scientific approach, supported the projects with content in "Easy Language".
The contents of the web site in everyday language and the site in "Easy Language" are linked, so it is always possible to switch between them and read the same information.
The site has been tested twice for its audience suitability by "Aufbauwerk", a social service company for young people in Tyrol. The response was extremely satisfactory. In addition, the Vienna-based Internet agency "Wienfluss" checked whether the site complies with the WAI guidelines, which lead to improvements made according to the test report before going online.
With this offer, the City of Innsbruck is playing a pioneering role in Austria.
