Accessibility of iledere.com - Declaration of Non-Conformity

Compliance status

The Destination Ile de Ré – Office de Tourisme website has been declared non-compliant with the Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité (RGAA Version 4.1). To date :

• A full compliance audit, carried out in accordance with the official RGAA methodology, has not yet been conducted.
• In the absence of such an audit, we cannot publish a precise compliance rate.
• In the interests of transparency, the site is therefore considered to be non-compliant pending this audit.

An active approach to improving accessibility is underway, and a compliance audit is scheduled for the first half of 2026.

What is digital accessibility?

At iledere.com, our aim is simple: to ensure that all visitors can access the site’s content, including those using tools adapted to a disability. In concrete terms, an accessible site is one that allows you to :

• Navigate with a voice synthesiser or Braille display, used by blind or partially-sighted people.
• Adapt the display according to your needs: enlarge the text, adjust the colours, improve the contrasts, etc. to make reading comfortable.
• Explore the site without a mouse, using only the keyboard or a touch screen.

Digital accessibility is not an extra: it’s a commitment.

Approach and planned actions

A structured approach is being taken to improve the accessibility of the site:

• Progressive revision of content (text, images, links, PDF documents, etc.) by the Tourist Office team, to ensure that it is accessible.
• Carrying out a technical and functionalaccessibility audit by a specialist service provider (on a representative sample of pages and functions).
• Implementation of a prioritised action plan , based on the results of the audit, with identification of :
  • technical corrections to be made (code, templates, modules),
  • improvements to ergonomics and navigation,
  • best practices to adopt for new content.
• Ongoing collaboration with our web agency to integrate the necessary corrections.
• Increasing the skills of in-house teams (writing, integration, visuals) to progressively produce accessible content.

Potentially inaccessible content

Pending the complete audit, some elements of the site may be difficult to access for certain audiences. These may include, for example

• Images without a suitable text alternative.
• PDF documents or other downloaded files (brochures, guides, forms) that are not structured for screen readers.
• Insufficientcolour contrast on certain blocks of text or buttons.
• Keyboard navigation sometimes limited, particularly on certain menus, carousels or interactive components.
• Link or button labels that are not very self-explanatory out of context (e.g. “Find out more”, “Read more”).
• The hierarchy of titles is sometimes imperfect, making it difficult for users of assistive technologies to navigate by title.

These points will be analysed and corrected as we go along.

Implementation of an accessibility module

Pending the full RGAA audit, we have deployed a simplified accessibility module,accessible via the character-shaped icon at the top right of each page. This module allows you to :

• reinforce or invert contrasts
• increaseline spacing
• activate a dyslexia-friendly font,
• remove justification from text to make it easier to read,
• replace certain images with text where possible.

This solution does not correct any structural accessibility faults on the site, but it does make it easier to use for people who need it. These adjustments will be reassessed and reinforced once the site accessibility audit is complete.

Continuous improvement of accessibility

Our aim is to make the iledere.com website :

• easier to navigate,
• easier to read
• and more inclusive for all audiences (residents, visitors, service providers, journalists, etc.).

Whenever there are major changes to the site (new template, new section, redesign, etc.), accessibility will be integrated as far upstream as possible in the technical and editorial choices.
