Accessibility Statement

Bundesverband Kleinwüchsige Menschen und ihre Familien e. V. (BKMF) wants everyone to be able to use this website, regardless of ability or technology. This statement covers https://wdg2023.com. Our benchmark is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA and the European standard EN 301 549.

This statement is made by Bundesverband Kleinwüchsige Menschen und ihre Familien e. V. (BKMF). The website runs on the supodo platform, which provides its technology and design templates.

Conformance status

This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The barriers listed below are known.

What is accessible

• Every page can be used with the keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator and a link that skips straight to the main content.
• Pages state their language, are structured with headings and landmarks, and give images a text alternative where the editors have provided one.
• Every page template and content block of the platform is tested automatically with axe against WCAG 2.2 Level AA before it is released.

Non-accessible content

The following content is not yet accessible:

• Home page, “About” section: the red text on the orange background has a contrast ratio of 2.46:1, where large text needs at least 3:1. The colours are kept to match the original 2023 website. (WCAG 1.4.3)
• Home page, official film of the 2023 World Dwarf Games: the video has no captions, so its soundtrack is not available to people who cannot hear it. (WCAG 1.2.2)
• Narrow screens (320 pixels wide): some long words in headings, in the privacy policy and in the footer were cut off instead of wrapping when we last measured, on 7 October 2026. A correction is in place but has not yet been measured again. (WCAG 1.4.10)

Not yet tested

• A complete pass with screen readers.
• Documents (such as PDF files) and videos that the editors publish.
• Zoom to 400 percent on every page.

How we tested

This statement is based on a self-assessment: automated tests with axe on every page template, and manual checks with the keyboard.

What we are doing next

We review the known barriers with every release of the platform and remove them as far as we can.
