Vogelsbergkreis: New website in easy language for all citizens

In the Vogelsberg district, something exciting has happened that benefits from people with language and reading difficulties. The newly designed website www.vb-leicht.de brings a breath of fresh air to the region's online presence by now also offering information in an easy language. The claim behind this step? To provide the citizens access to important information.

The challenge that many citizens know in everyday life is now being tackled: topics such as job searches, educational offers for children and contact with authorities have so far been often perceived as difficult to understand. The new website is dedicated to these questions and presents the answers in a form that is accessible to everyone.

What does the new website offer?

The website complements the existing offer of the main page www.Vogelsbergkreis.de and is aimed particularly at people with a wide variety of impairments and on those who want to improve their language skills. It offers low -barrier access to information and contact points that are essential for many. Whether it is about "working and work", "health" or "help for seniors" - the thematic focus is diverse and respond to the needs of the citizens.

A central feature of the website is your simple structure. With clear text structures, large -scale graphics and a clear design, the user is guided through the content. Easy language is not only easier to understand, it also makes navigation on the side considerably easier. The goal? To convey information quickly and easily without readers being left frustrated.

Light language is a simplified form of the German language that was specially developed to make people with language barriers easier. This type of communication ensures that the content of the content is understandable for everyone. In a world in which information is often presented in complex structures, this step is a milestone for accessibility.

The implementation of this important project was supported by the Hessian Ministry of Labor, Integration, Youth and Social Affairs, which shows that such initiatives are also valued across local borders. In addition, the website was part of the Host Town project of Special Olympics Hessen, which aims to promote inclusion and participation for people with impairments.
