1. Current State of Compatibility with the Requirements
Due to the recent transition to a new content management system, we have not yet been able to systematically check and document whether our web pages meet all accessibility requirements. The content management system (WordPress) uses an accessible basic layout. We assume that it already meets many of the current technical requirements. We will continually implement the requirements described in the L-BBG in the systematic inspection of all pages to be conducted in the further course of the website relaunch process.
These web pages are currently only partially compatible with § 10 paragraph 1 of the L-BGG due to the following incompatibilities and/or exceptions.
