Accessibility statement

Introduction

At Moratto , we are committed to universal digital accessibility, constantly working to ensure that our website is usable by everyone, regardless of users’ abilities, age or specific needs.

This accessibility statement has been drawn up in accordance with current Italian legislation (Law no. 4 of 9 January 2004, “Stanca Law”, and Legislative Decree no. 82 of 27 May 2022 implementing EU Directive 2019/882).

It takes into account the WCAG 2.2 level AA technical requirements for websites, equivalent to the harmonized European standard EN 301 549 (latest version available).

Pursuant to Article 15 of Directive (EU) 2019/882, compliance with EN 301 549 confers a presumption of conformity with mandatory accessibility requirements.

This statement provides information on the accessibility of the web service, as required by art. 12 of Legislative Decree no. 82/2022, and is made available to the public in accessible formats (both textual and, on request, oral) for the entire period of service provision.

Description of the site and the services offered

The official website www.moratto.it is the institutional portal of Moratto s.r.l.

Through the website we list the activities carried out by the company in the field of Electric Motors.

Users can, for example:

  • consult the descriptions of the company’s products offered
  • read news relating to the areas covered
  • send requests to the company to request more information via the contact form

The design and navigation structure of the site have been conceived to be simple and intuitive: clear menus, guided paths and search functions facilitate orientation within the portal.

All interactive features are redesigned following the principles of accessibility by design, so that they are perceptible, usable, understandable and robust for all users, including people with disabilities.

Scope

The scope of this statement applies to the www.moratto.it website and all pages contained therein.

Any content published on the site but coming from external domains or platforms (e.g. YouTube embedded videos, interactive third-party maps, social feeds) are excluded from the scope of evaluation of this statement.

Such third-party elements, not being completely under our control, may not fully meet the accessibility requirements provided.

Moratto, together with its suppliers, nevertheless maintains an active commitment to improve the accessibility of any external content incorporated, urging their producers, in order to offer an experience that is as inclusive as possible also on these components.

In general, our goal is to continuously monitor and promptly correct any barriers to access that may arise, so as to ensure an inclusive and frictionless digital experience for all users.

To this end, we have integrated accessibility into the site development and management process, providing periodic checks, training of technical staff and involvement of experts and users with disabilities in usability checks.

These measures help us to maintain compliance with the requirements over time and to progressively improve the service provided.

Compliance status

Based on the audits conducted, the status of the website complies with accessibility requirements is as follows: partially compliant.

Currently, the site is aligned with the relevant requirements of EN 301 549/WCAG for most components.

However, despite Moratto‘s efforts, there are some limited non-conformities or areas where the requirements are not fully met in all sections of the site.

These are usually small imperfections that do not seriously affect the overall usability, but which require further improvement (see the “Inaccessible content” section below for details).

In the event that a user encounters difficulties in accessing content due to these non-conformities, we invite him to report it to us via the contact channels indicated in this statement: we are ready to provide assistance and appropriate alternative information, where possible.

Moratto has already launched a continuous improvement program to fill the remaining gaps and try to achieve full compliance within the deadlines established by current legislation.

Our commitment is to implement all the necessary changes to ensure full compliance with digital accessibility requirements, in the shortest possible time and in any case within the legal deadlines.

Policies adopted and accessibility measures implemented

To ensure the accessibility of the www.moratto.it website, Moratto strives to apply the technical requirements of the reference standard (WCAG 2.2 level AA, as implemented in EN 301 549).

The following are some of the solutions and features that are being implemented or are being implemented to improve content accessibility:

  • Image alt texts: All significant images have been thoroughly reviewed to ensure that each image has an appropriate alt text (alt attribute). In this way, visual information is also made available to users who use screen readers or who have visual impairments.
  • Consistent semantic structure: The structure of the HTML code has been optimized to correctly reflect the visual structure of the pages. In particular, all structural elements such as titles, section headings, lists, tables, and field groupings in forms are defined with appropriate semantic markers (e.g. <h1>… <h6> for headings, <ul>/<ol> for lists, etc.), so that users of assistive technologies can correctly perceive the organization of the content.
    Where not possible, the “air” attributes have been used.
  • Use of color: additional visual indicators (e.g. icons or explanatory texts, underlining for links) are being implemented so that no information is conveyed by color alone. This ensures that users with color blindness or visual impairments can distinguish active or highlighted elements unambiguously, even in the absence of color perception.
  • Sufficient color contrast: Both automatic and manual tools were used to check the text-background contrast on all color schemes on the site. We are adjusting styles where necessary to ensure a minimum contrast of 4.5:1 for small text (as required by Level AA). Important non-textual elements (icons, buttons, graphics) are also checked to ensure adequate contrast with the background.
    Tool used to perform the check: https://wave.webaim.org/ and browser code inspector.
    NOTE: some on-line tools detect some strings of text as inaccessible, despite the fact that the same color with the same background is present in other sections of the same page and others; therefore, it has been established that the discriminating factor is what the browser code inspector “Firefox Developer” indicates, according to which the site always has sufficient contrasts to achieve AA compliance.
  • Text scaling and responsive design: The site layout is designed to allow up to 200% magnification of text size without loss of functionality or readability. We are carrying out checks on all pages so that, even at high zoom levels or on small screens (e.g. mobile), the content adapts correctly and does not require horizontal scrolling to be read. The layout is flexible (responsive design) and supports both portrait and landscape orientation on devices. We also test the site with custom text spacing settings (line spacing, word and letter spacing) to ensure that the interface remains usable even if we increase the spaces to the standards recommended values.
  • Keyboard accessibility: all the interactive features of the site (drop-down menus, image galleries, sliders, forms, etc.) can be used via keyboard. Our team is verifying that there are no “dead spots” where Tab/Shift+Tab navigation gets stuck, and that the tab order always follows an intuitive logic from left to right and top to bottom. For complex interactive elements, we are implementing specific keyboard navigation measures (for example, in the case of expandable menus, the focus is closed within the menu until it is closed). Unfortunately, the slider on the home page, made with the “Metaslider” plugin is not entirely accessible and the excessive cost is invoked compared to the benefit in this specific case.
  • Visible Focus Indicators: We’re restyling all links, buttons, and interactive controls to ensure that keyboard focus is always clearly visible. This involves adding outlines, highlights, or underlines that are visible when an element is focused, with adequate contrast, so that the user always knows which element is active when navigating with the keyboard.
  • Bypass repetitive content: A “Skip to main content” feature has been implemented at the top of each page, which can be activated via keyboard, to allow users to avoid having to repeatedly navigate through navigation menus or other repetitive blocks and go directly to the main section of the page.
  • Descriptive and contextualized links: We are improving all text links so that they are understandable even out of context. We avoid vague link texts such as “click here” or “read more” without further description. Instead, each link is written in such a way that it clearly describes the destination or function (e.g. “Download PDF catalogue”, “Information on how to reach us”). This helps both users with disabilities (who may be browsing the list of links in isolation) and general users better understand where each link will lead.
  • Clear headers and labels: We apply a logical hierarchy consisting of page titles and form control labels. Each page has a descriptive <title> and a clear <h1> header that indicates the main topic. Inner sections use nested headings in the correct order (<h2>, <h3>, etc.) to reflect the structure of the content. Similarly, form fields and action buttons have explicit labels that describe their function (e.g., “Search site” for the search field).
  • Visual label and accessible name match: We are verifying that for all interactive elements that have visible text (such as buttons, links, or form labels), the accessible name (provided to the screen reader via ARIA attributes or alt text) matches the visible text. This improves consistency and avoids confusion for those using voice commands or assistive technologies, ensuring that for example a “Send Request” button is announced with exactly these words and can be activated by voice command using the same text.
  • Language of the content and language changes: to facilitate correct reading with voice readers, each page of the site declares the main language through the lang attribute in the HTML (e.g. lang=”it” for Italian). In addition, we are also inserting language attributes for foreign language phrases or words that may be included in texts (e.g. English terms). This will allow screen readers to switch to the correct pronunciation, avoiding misunderstandings.
  • No unexpected context switches: We verify that no interactive component causes unexpected page or focus changes without prior notice to the user. In particular, in forms we make sure that changing a field (e.g. selecting a drop-down menu) does not automatically trigger the loading of new sections or the redirect to other pages without this being communicated in advance. If some interactions involve a dynamic update of the page (e.g. additional fields that appear), they are managed in such a way as to inform the user appropriately (via text or ARIA signals) avoiding confusion.
  • Form labels and instructions: All form controls (input fields, select, checkbox, radio button) have associated text labels that are visible or, in the case of visually hidden labels, otherwise linked to the field for screen readers. We also provide clear instructions when a specific format is required (e.g. date format) or in case of mandatory fields. This helps all users understand what to enter and reduces compilation errors.
  • Compatibility with assistive technologies: the site code (HTML, ARIA, scripts) is written according to the specifications in order to be robust and interpretable by the greatest number of platforms and devices. We are conducting tests with different screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) and browsers to ensure that all custom controls (such as tabbed menus, sliders, modals) correctly communicate their role, state, and value to assistive technologies. For example, dynamic components are provided with appropriate ARIA roles (dialog role for modal windows, menu roles and item menus for expandable menus, etc.) and are scripted to meet standard navigation expectations.

Content not accessible

The following is a brief explanation of the content or functionality of the site that is currently not fully accessible or does not comply with the requirements:

  • On the /contact/ page, the maps provided by Google are not fully accessible, lack title attribute and possible other elements.
  • As previously written, the slider managed via the Metaslider plugin for the WordPress platform is not fully accessible.
  • Images with missing or incomplete alt text: Some decorative or photographic images may not have adequate alt We are in the process of reviewing and updating all the alternative texts of the significant images.
  • PDF files or attached documents are not accessible: downloadable documents (e.g. brochures, PDF attachments) are not optimized for assistive technologies (untagged structure, text in images, etc.). You can request an alternative version by contacting us.
  • Interface and content elements with insufficient contrast: although the utmost care has been taken to adapt each element to the right level of contrast, it is possible that some critical issues remain. The adaptation process, in fact, is managed continuously: as non-compliant elements are identified, they will be promptly adjusted.
  • Non-text content provided by third parties: As indicated, the site includes external components (maps) that may not be 100% accessible. In particular, for example, the interactive map on the Contacts page cannot be used via keyboard or screen reader. These elements are not made by Moratto, but, respectively, by the Google company, it is hoped that they can comply as soon as possible.
  • At the moment, we have identified that the adaptation of the Iubenda plugin is impossible to practice, in this case due to the problems related to: inserting descriptive title tags in the iframe generated by the plugin and inserting correct air tags in the same. This is because the aforementioned is developed by a third-party company, which has been warned of the problem in advance.
  • The videos contained in the YouTube pages, with a view to optimization, use a plugin for lazy loading that involves the use of a filler image that disappears when pressed on play, said image is without ALT and it is not possible to integrate it.

All the points listed above are currently being worked on by our team: we have already planned corrective actions and in many cases the solutions are being tested or implemented. We estimate that we will resolve non-conformities by September 2030, compatibly with available resources.

We will update this statement as each aspect is brought into compliance. In the meantime, for any specific needs, we will provide accessible alternative content (e.g. text descriptions, simplified versions or personalized assistance) on request.

Disproportionate burden exclusion

The following were considered disproportionate burdens:

  1. The replacement of the slider made with the WordPress Metaslider plugin which is partially accessible, as the limitations to compliance are really limited.
  2. The optimization of the PDFs contained in the site which, in any case, as mentioned above, can be requested fully accessible by the user.

Drafting and updating of the declaration

This accessibility statement was drawn up on 15/09/2025 (date of first publication). The method adopted for its preparation was internal self-assessment based on the requirements of the EN 301 549 standard.

In particular, an instrumental analysis was carried out integrated with manual checks on the current version of the site.

The assessment tools used are the following:

The statement is reviewed and updated annually (or more frequently if there are significant changes to the site or regulatory requirements).
