Accessibility
Lelystad On Ice wants everyone to be able to use this website: with a screen reader, with only a keyboard, zoomed in or with colour blindness. Here you can read how far we have come, what does not work well yet and how to reach us if something does not work.
1. What we aim for
We follow the international guidelines for accessible websites: the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. This is the same standard that applies to government websites in the Netherlands, through the European standard EN 301 549.
We do not have a quality mark and have not been audited by an independent party. This statement honestly describes where things stand.
2. What we have checked
On 9 November 2026 we checked the website ourselves, on a computer and on a phone: the home page, activities, prices, the ticket shop up to payment, gift vouchers, news, FAQ, contact and the other pages for visitors. We did this with an automated test (axe-core) and by hand. What we checked:
- everything works with only a keyboard, and you can always see where you are;
- the ‘Skip to content’ link lets you skip the menu;
- headings, buttons and form fields have a clear name;
- images that convey information have a description;
- text has enough contrast with the background;
- error messages in forms appear next to the field and are read aloud;
- the site remains usable when you zoom in up to 400%;
- if you have set ‘reduce motion’ on your device, you will not see moving images;
- you can pause the strip of partner logos with the small button below it.
We fixed what we found, except for the points below.
3. Adjusting the display yourself
With the round button at the bottom left of every page (‘Adjust display’) you can choose how the site looks:
- Animations off: everything that moves stands still, such as the snow, Lely the penguin and the strip of logos;
- Higher contrast: grey text and borders become darker;
- Text size: the whole page 115% or 130% larger;
- Underline links: all links are underlined.
Your choice is saved on this device. If you have turned on ‘reduce motion’ or ‘increase contrast’ on your device, it is switched on here automatically. ‘Reset’ takes you back to the default.
4. What does not work well yet
- Higher contrast does not work equally well everywhere yet: a few older parts of the site keep their own colours.
- In the ticket shop, not every field says whether it is required. Postcode and house number may be left empty; if you fill in something incorrectly, the message next to the field tells you what is wrong.
- We have not yet had the site tested by people with disabilities, nor with every screen reader separately.
- We check photos and texts that we add ourselves, such as news items, when we publish them. Occasionally something may slip through.
- Payment itself takes place on the Mollie payment page (iDEAL or credit card). That page is not part of this website and we have not checked it.
5. Running into a problem?
