Website ranks high in the Atlas of Digital Accessibility Assessment

In the heart of Bavaria, the city of Landshut has made a significant stride in digital accessibility, earning the highest possible rating in the "Digital Accessibility Atlas." This achievement places Landshut among an elite group of only four cities in Bavaria and just 3% of the 11,000 municipalities in Germany to achieve this feat.

The city administration's commitment to making digital content and services accessible to as many citizens as possible is evident in their website's score of 5 out of 5 possible points. This score, a testament to the city's dedication to digital accessibility, is not limited to meeting requirements but also includes continuous development.

The evaluation of Landshut's website was based on criteria such as adjustable font size, text-to-speech function, and the ability to make a personal ID application within three minutes. These criteria are essential for ensuring that the city's digital services are accessible to all, regardless of abilities.

The practical test for the city's website accessibility was conducted by people with various disabilities and using technical analysis tools. This comprehensive approach ensured a thorough evaluation of the website's accessibility features.

The Digital Accessibility Atlas, the largest civil society initiative for state transparency regarding website accessibility in Germany, oversaw the testing process. This initiative, which is also the largest in Germany for state transparency regarding website accessibility, plays a crucial role in promoting digital inclusivity across the country.

Despite the impressive achievement, the practical accessibility tests for the Landshut city website were not explicitly detailed in the provided search results, and no direct information about who conducted these tests or their outcomes was found in the available sources.

The city's high rating is viewed as both confirmation and motivation to further develop and optimise its online presence. The city's digital content and services can be found at www.our website. As Landshut continues to lead the way in digital accessibility, it serves as an inspiration for other municipalities to follow suit and ensure that digital services are accessible to all.

In Bavaria, only three other cities achieved a maximum score like Landshut, indicating a growing trend towards digital inclusivity in the region. With the Digital Accessibility Atlas driving this change, it is hoped that more municipalities will strive for digital accessibility and create a more inclusive digital landscape for all citizens.
