These are some of the improvements to the corporate portal www.marqalicante.com which are in addition to other possibilities previously introduced in the last months, such as the virtual assistant.
The Deputy for Culture, Juan de Dios NavarroHe stressed that the aim of this proposal "is to be accessible to all audiences, a fundamental issue for a museum that is a reference point in Europe, which is why the Foundation has made improvements to a website that can now be accessed by anyone".
He also pointed out that these processes have also been included in the audits of review of the University Accessibility certificationobtained by the CV MARQ Foundation in 2020. Navarro explained that the accessibility of the museum's website "means that all users can achieve understanding, learning, browsing and full virtual interaction".

When you click on this symbol, a highly visible navigation bar appears at the bottom, with calls to action such as "easy navigation with buttons" or "easy navigation for low vision" and, after clicking on these sections, a menu with different optionsthrough sounds with large textamong other possibilities.
