As an association for people severely ill with CFS and Lyme disease, making our digital content as inclusive as possible is a central concern. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA).

2. Compliance Status

This website is fully compliant with the requirements due to the implementation of screen reader tags, structural ARIA labels, and keyboard navigation.

Responsive Design
Fluid layout up to 400% zoom without text loss.
Color Contrast & Visuals
Strict avoidance of pure signal colors as sole info source. High AA contrast ratio.
Semantic Structure
Perfect H1-H6 hierarchy and structured ARIA tags for screen reader software.
Keyboard Navigation
100% operable without a mouse utilizing visible focus rings.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not yet fully accessible due to disproportionate burden: Older medical PDF documents and historical press releases of the VBCI e.V. published before 2024, as the source files are of archival origin. If you urgently need a specific document, please contact us for an accessible text version.

3. Feedback and Contact
