Quick and easy to use: the new web pages of the Medical University of Vienna
The new pages of the Medical University of Vienna conform to the guidelines for accessible web sites. The pages are coded in a linear way (line by line), and provide a clear and simple structure. In that way, the new pages of the Medical University of Vienna are compatible with text-only browsers and screen reader software, and offer an easy-to-use interface for visitors who use "keyboard-only system" and do not use a "mouse" as navigational device.
A clear content structure, as well as user-friendly graphics, make navigating our new pages easy. For optimal readability, the font size can be adjusted with your browser. High color contrasts facilitate the readability of the pages.
Alternative descriptions are provided for browsers that do not display images and videos. Visitors with screen reader software may "skip navigational items" and jump directly to the content on each page.
Links open in the same browser window; there are no "pop-up windows". Only links to PDF files and external web sites will open in a new window. Links are clearly marked throughout our pages.
