Accessibility

UAB "Palangos linas" wants everyone to be able to use this website comfortably, including people with disabilities. The website is built and maintained to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA and the European standard EN 301 549.

Conformance status

The website substantially conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Exceptions are listed under "Known limitations". Last review: 5 November 2026, covering every public page in Lithuanian and English at phone and desktop screen widths.

Accessibility features

A "Skip to content" link at the top of every page lets you bypass the menu. Pages are divided into landmarks (header, navigation, main content, footer), use a consistent heading hierarchy and carry the correct language attribute. Informative images have alternative text, while decorative images and images with a visible caption are not repeated to screen readers. Form fields have labels, required fields are marked, and errors are described in text and linked to the field. Price tables have column and row headers. Links that open in a new tab say so. The website works from 320 px wide screens without horizontal scrolling, and text can be enlarged to 200%. Animations are switched off when your device asks for reduced motion, and content never waits for an animation.

Keyboard navigation

Everything can be operated with a keyboard alone: the menu, search, frequently asked questions, room photo galleries, the treatment price list, cookie settings and promotional pop-ups. Use Tab to move between elements, Enter or Space to activate them and Escape to close menus and dialogs. Ctrl+K or "/" opens search. When the menu or the search dialog is open, focus stays inside it and returns to where you were when it closes. Room galleries scroll with the arrow keys. The focused element always has a clear 3 px outline, and on phones it is never hidden behind the bottom action bar.

Colour contrast

Text contrast is at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text and interface components. Information is never conveyed by colour alone: for example, the current menu item is also underlined, and form errors are explained in text.

Screen readers

The website uses semantic HTML and ARIA, so it works with popular screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver (macOS and iOS) and TalkBack (Android). The number of search and treatment filter results and the status of the contact form are announced automatically.

Languages

All website content is available in Lithuanian and English. Every page has the correct language attribute (lang) so screen readers pronounce the text properly. The language switcher shows each language in its own name.

How we test

Every time the website changes, all pages in both languages are checked with automated tools (axe-core against WCAG 2.2 AA and best-practice rules, and Google Lighthouse) at phone and desktop widths. We also test manually: keyboard navigation, visible focus, zoom to 200% and 320 px wide screens.

Known limitations

The Google Maps embed is third-party content whose accessibility we cannot fully guarantee, so the address and a directions link are always provided as text next to it. The data protection documents under "Patient information" are available only in Lithuanian, as PDF files. The booking and gift voucher systems (booking.palangoslinas.com) are run by an external provider and are not covered by this statement. If you find any other barrier, please let us know.

Feedback and help

If you run into a barrier or need information in another format, email administracija@palangoslinas.com or call +370 460 56105. We reply within 5 working days and aim to remove the barrier as soon as possible.

Physical accessibility

The hotel and rehabilitation centre is adapted for people with reduced mobility. Reception, open around the clock, can tell you more about physical accessibility.
