FACIL'iti

FACIL’iti is a web user companion aiming to improve internet users’ browsing experience. Though internet represents a fabulous evolution, browsing can be extremely challenging for people with visual (e.g. presbytia, cataract, color blindness), motor (e.g. Parkinson’s disease, imprecise movements) and/or cognitive impairments (e.g. dyslexia, attention disorder). FACIL’iti enables all internet users to change the display of a webpage to adapt it to their needs (i.e. have a bigger font size in case of visual impairments, make clickable links easier to access or remove any content that could disturb the reading). Available via a widget that is implemented on the website, FACIL’iti is both very easy to install and to use, and does not require any site redesign.

FACIL’iti greatly helps to make the internet more inclusive by making sure that everyone has a chance to access it. With FACIL’iti, it is not for the users to adapt themselves to the specificities of a website, but rather websites that will adapt themselves to the needs of their users, offering therefore a better and more comfortable browsing experience. In return, it contributes to improving a website's visibility and its audience loyalty. As such, FACIL’iti is both a unique and a universal solution.

FACIL’iti is constantly under improvement and benefits from the latest innovations. More recently, FACIL’iti was enriched with new functionalities focusing on attention disorder (with a new filter available) and dyslexia (with more and more options offered to make the reading easier for dyslexic people). We have also developed a screen reader, and the overall solution is both GDPR and WCAG (level AA) compliant.

Since August 2024 FACIL’iti has been implemented on the Deutsche Bahn - Regio Nordost website. The relationship started in 2023, as FACIL’iti was part of the DB Mindbox program: through the program we could introduce our solution to the DB and present its benefits both in terms of inclusion as well as in terms of brand image and website traffic. Convinced by the idea, the DB has since then successfully implemented the FACIL’iti widget on its website. Ever since, the following users' feedbacks confirm the relevance of the solution:

“Gerne auch nicht nur für nicht eingeschränkte bewerben, da es deutlich angenehmer mit einigen Einstellungen auch für Leute ohne Beeinträchtigung ist”

“Super Möglichkeit der Inklusion, Symbol ist auf dem Smartphone gut zu finden und die Bedienung ist eindeutig und einfach.”

“Ich finde es eine sehr umfassend und leicht gestaltete Lösungsform, die nicht nur das Augenmerk auf die eigenen Einschränkungen legt, sondern auch Aufmerksamkeit für andere Krankheitsbilder schafft, da man sich intuitiv erst Mal alles durchschaut, bevor man die eigene Option auswählt.”
