Lageanalyse24 is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all readers, including those with disabilities. This statement outlines our ongoing efforts to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, reflecting the editorial integrity of Lageanalyse2 Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry) and operating from Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. Our Chefredaktör, Maximilian Möller, oversees all accessibility improvements.
Who is responsible for accessibility at Lageanalyse24?
The editorial leadership bears primary responsibility for digital accessibility, with Chefredaktör Maximilian Möller (anders.lindqvist@lageanalyse24.de, +46 8 525 030 61) ensuring standards are met. As the publisher, Lageanalyse2 Media Ltd. (registered in Gibraltar) invests in accessible design and testing. The team, including Redaktionschef Lisa Franke and fact-checking lead Sophie Zimmermann, supports these efforts through daily editorial workflows.
What is our commitment to WCAG 2.2 Level AA?
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This means our website, text, images, and interactive elements are designed to be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. We conduct periodic audits and user testing to maintain compliance and address gaps. Our editorial policy reinforces the importance of clear, well-structured content that supports assistive technologies.
How do we implement keyboard navigation, focus, contrast and reduced motion?
Our development team ensures all functionality is operable through a keyboard alone, with visible focus indicators that meet a 3:1 contrast ratio against the background. Text and non-text colour contrasts exceed minimum ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). We provide a reduced-motion option that disables animations and transitions for users who prefer less movement. These settings are tested across major browsers and screen readers.
What are the known limitations of our accessibility?
Some third-party content embedded on our site—such as social media feeds, interactive maps, or advertising widgets—may not be fully accessible. We cannot control these external elements but label them clearly and work with partners to improve compliance. Archival articles published before our accessibility review (founded 2024) may contain legacy formatting or image descriptions that fall short. We prioritise remediating these when reported via our contact page.
How can you report accessibility issues or request support?
If you encounter any barrier while using lageanalyse24.de, please email our designated accessibility address at accessibility@lageanalyse24.de. Provide the URL, describe the issue, and mention your assistive technology if relevant. We aim to acknowledge within two business days and resolve or provide an alternative within ten business days. For complaints not resolved, please refer to our complaints procedure. All feedback is reviewed by the editorial team and Chefredaktör.
