Accessibility

Rodmusic is committed to making rodmusic.fr accessible to everyone, in line with the French accessibility framework (RGAA, version 4.1), based on WCAG.

This statement applies to rodmusic.fr.

Compliance status

rodmusic.fr is partially compliant with RGAA 4.1.

The internal audit found no non-compliant criterion on the sample pages. One criterion (7.1, compatibility of scripts with assistive technologies) still has to be confirmed with a screen reader test: until that test is done, we declare the site partially compliant.

Test results

The internal audit carried out on 24 October 2026 covers all 106 RGAA 4.1 criteria:

  • 62 criteria compliant;
  • 0 criteria not compliant;
  • 43 criteria not applicable (no tables, CAPTCHA, downloadable documents, etc.);
  • 1 criterion to be checked (7.1).

The compliance rate is 100% of the criteria assessed (62 out of 62). The full grid is published on the French version of this statement.

Issues found during the audit were fixed the same day: contrast, heading order, skip link, pause buttons for the slideshow and the ticker, a switch to stop all animations, focus kept inside the menu and search, single-key shortcut removed, embedded player titles, events calendar.

Non-accessible content

Known non-compliance outside the sample

  • In articles imported from the previous version of the site, some images inserted in the text, such as festival posters, have no text alternative.

Exemptions for disproportionate burden

None.

Content not subject to accessibility requirements

  • Embedded players (YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music) and the videos they play, provided by third-party services that Rodmusic neither funds, develops nor controls.
  • Sites reached through ticketing or affiliate links.
