Both the Homepage and the Text-only page of the website have been meticulously designed to ensure compatibility with screen readers, a vital tool used by blind and visually impaired users to navigate and interact with digital content.
Screen readers convert text and other on-screen elements into speech or braille output, enabling users to access the content without relying on visual cues. To optimize this experience, the layout, structure, and content of these pages have been carefully crafted with accessibility in mind.

La Girobussola also offers tactile maps as an added feature to enhance the travel experience for blind and visually impaired travelers. These tactile maps provide a hands-on way for users to explore and understand geographical layouts, offering an additional layer of interaction during their journeys.
On the website, tactile maps are used as a conceptual pattern to help structure and divide page content, symbolizing the association’s focus on accessibility and inclusivity. By incorporating this design element, La Girobussola further reinforces its mission to create accessible travel experiences both online and in real-world travel.
