Accessibility Statement

HÖGL Shoe Fashion GmbH is committed to making its website https://hassia-shoes.com accessible in accordance with the Web Accessibility Act (WZG) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

Compliance Status

This website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA due to the non-conformities listed below.

Non-accessible Content

The following content and functions are currently not fully accessible:

 

  • Links without discernible text (e.g., wishlist, store finder) – screen readers cannot identify their purpose.
  • Missing labels on form elements (e.g., <select> elements without accessible names).
  • Iframes without meaningful titles – embedded content is not correctly labeled for assistive technologies.
  • Incorrect semantic structure of lists – e.g., <ol> elements containing <div> children.
  • Insufficient color contrast – particularly in price displays (e.g., grey text on a white background).
  • Incorrect or incomplete ARIA roles – such as menuitem outside of a menu, or tablist without appropriate tab children.
  • Reduced usability at 200% zoom – especially in the header and navigation menus.
  • Zoom functionality is restricted on mobile devices due to maximum-scale=1 in the viewport meta tag.
  • Missing landmark regions – e.g., navigation not contained in a <nav> element.
  • Nested interactive elements – e.g., buttons within other interactive components.


Preparation of this Statement

This statement was prepared on May 14, 2025, based on an external audit conducted by MSTAGE GmbH. The full audit report is available upon request.

Enforcement Procedure

If you are not satisfied with how we respond to your enquiry and/or with the answers provided, you may complain to the Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (FFG, the Austrian Research Promotion Agency). The FFG receives complaints electronically via its contact form.

Contact form – digital accessibility complaints office

Complaints received are examined by the FFG with a view to determining if they relate to violations of the provisions stipulated in the Web-Zugänglichkeits-Gesetz (Web Accessibility Act), in particular to deficiencies with respect to compliance with accessibility requirements by a federal government body or a public institution related to the federal government.

Provided the complaint is justified, the FFG shall make recommendations for action to the legal entities concerned and propose measures that serve to remedy and eliminate the existing deficiencies.
