Web accessibility is a field that is constantly evolving. Today, when we talk about accessibility, we do not focus solely on people with disabilities, but also on several client groups that could be marginalized. These groups include older people, illiterate people, people who speak foreign languages, people who use out-dated technologies, people who use emerging technologies, people with slow connection speeds, and users who have little or no experience with the Web. All of these individuals can now benefit from the adaptations proposed by the SGQRI 008 2.0 accessibility standards to facilitate browsing and find their way quickly through the mass of information available on the Web.
The Tribunal administratif du Québec (TAQ) has made a commitment to make its Internet site as accessible and inclusive as possible, so as to respond to the varied needs of its clientèle in an adequate manner. To do this, it has implemented a continuous improvement programme for its Internet site, so as to ensure the highest level of compliance possible with the Web accessibility standards adopted by the Secretariat of the Conseil du Trésor (SCT). Initially, the target standard is Standard SGQRI 008 2.0 concerning Web sites (HTML).
For more information about the SGQRI 008 2.0 standards, please consult the Web site of the Secretariat of the Conseil du trésor (SCT) concerning Web accessibility standards. (French version only)
Over the coming months, the Tribunal will progressively correct the shortcomings identified with respect to its Internet site.
• Improvements will be made to correct text display problems up to 200%, for example in the main menu.
• A Meta "Description" (series of key words) will be applied to the first three levels on each home page.
• Alternate style sheets will eventually be offered to resolve certain problems concerning colour contrast.
• The animation on the home page will be modified so that the user can stop it as needed.
