How to Use www.cappellini.com 

(Accessibility & Operation)

We strive to make www.cappellini.com simple to use for everyone. Here’s an overview of how to navigate and operate our service when using assistive technologies or special configurations:

 

How to use www.cappellini.com

The main menu of the website, located at the top of every page, provides access to collections, projects, new arrivals, designers, and the inspiration section. At the top, there is also a search bar: by typing in keywords, helpful suggestions are displayed to quickly find products. Each product page includes a title, description, images, and, where available, the price with the option to purchase. The checkout forms are easy to fill out, ensuring a safe and intuitive experience.

 

Accessibility features of www.cappellini.com

Use the standard interaction methods with the operating system and assistive technologies.

Our service accessibility might be customized and enhanced by activating the correct options of our accessibility widget the moment you land on each screen. The widget can be reached via keyboard at the beginning of the page or if visible in overlay, in a fixed position close to a corner of the window, and has a “universal access” like icon:

 

- Usage without vision: three tabs (or turn on Screen reader compatibility)

- Usage with limited vision: use zoom, contrast and font manipulation functions

- Usage without perception of colour: use highlighting functions (headers, links, clickables)

- Usage with limited manipulation or strength: simply navigate with a keyboard emulator device or activate keyboard functionality

- Minimize photosensitive seizure triggers: use turn off animations and specific colour combinations

 

If correctly activating any of the functionalities might compromise the compatibility with your configuration or assistive technology, please contact us, and in the meantime, disable the widget by the appropriate button, to prevent misuse of our service.

If you need more explanation on using any part of www.cappellini.com, please contact us for personalized assistance. We aim to provide any additional description or explanation necessary for you to operate the service smoothly.

3. ACCESSIBILITY COMPLIANCE

(HOW WE MEET REQUIREMENTS)

 

We have assessed www.cappellini.com against the European Accessibility Act’s requirements (if needed also to its local application), ADA, WCAG 2.2, Section 508 and ensured it meets them.

We commit to ensuring that www.cappellini.com is:

 

Perceivable

- Instructions provided for understanding and operating content do not rely solely on sensory characteristics of components such as shape, colour, size, visual location, orientation, or sound

 

Operable

- No keyboard traps are present (it is possible to navigate freely into and out of all components)

- No time limits are imposed by the content or, if present, they are user-controllable, adjustable, extendable, or justified by functional or legal requirements

- All moving content, if present, includes controls for pausing and/or playback management

- No flashing or blinking content is used at levels that could trigger seizures, remaining within safety limits

- The target size of interactive elements is sufficiently large to ensure easy interaction for users

 

Understandable

- The language of each page is properly defined and used consistently throughout the service

- User interface components, when receiving keyboard navigation focus, do not trigger unexpected context changes that may disorient users

- User interface components, when activated by the user via keyboard or assistive technologies, do not trigger unexpected context changes that may disorient users

- Available navigation mechanisms are positioned consistently throughout the entire service flow

- Repeated elements of the interface are consistently addressed in order to facilitate their identification

- When an input error is automatically detected, the erroneous element is identified, and the error is described using text

- We write content in clear, simple language

 

Robust

- Standard development technologies that can be interpreted by assistive technologies are used

 

We test www.cappellini.com with the most common assistive technologies in a wide variety of OS-Browser configurations:

 

- Screen readers (such as NVDA and JAWS on Windows, VoiceOver on Mac and iOS) to confirm that all interactive elements are announced correctly and can be operated

- We also test with screen magnification and high contrast modes

 

We aim for compatibility with current versions of major assistive tools. Our code follows the best practices outlined in WCAG 2.2 and EN 301 549 for robust implementation, meaning it should remain accessible even as technology evolves.

Standards: based on the above, we apply WCAG 2.2 AA (latest) and EN 301 549 criteria to ensure accessibility. Meeting these standards creates a presumption of conformity with the EAA’s requirements, ADA and other regulations based on the same technical standards.

4. ONGOING MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE

 

Accessibility is not a one-time effort for us – it’s an ongoing process. Here’s how we ensure www.cappellini.com stays accessible over time:

 

- We use automated testing tools integrated into our development process to quickly identify common accessibility issues (such as missing alt text or form labeling). Every code update goes through these checks

- With the support of AccessiWay, we carried out an external, expert-led manual audit on October 3, 2025 to verify our accessibility compliance. We maintain a cycle of continuous testing and improvement, with recurring support in place to ensure that comprehensive audits — including manual testing by professionals using assistive technologies — are conducted at least once a year
