At Mazars we want to make viewing our website easy and accessible for everybody. We follow the highest standards for our layout and presentation.
Testing
Since some automated testing tools can’t confirm that a website is accessible, we use manual testing along with the automated approach. We use automated tools to provide an overall picture and manual tests to identify deeper problems in the templates. All content on the site is fully edited to ensure that it is accessible and readable.
