The portal of the Official Bulletin of the State (Boletín Oficial del Estado , BOE) - the official gazette of the central government in Spain - won the award of the most accessible public website at the TAW awards in the central, regional and provincial governments category.
The web page of the BOE complies with the universality principle, in that its design aims to render the use of the portal easier for as many people as possible, thus doing away with the need to adapt or redesign the portal following specific needs.
The TAW awards is an initiative of the Centre for the Development of Information and Communication Technologies in Asturias (CTIC) and it is supported by the Government of the Principality of Asturias. It was launched in 2005 with the purpose of acknowledging those websites that are made more accessible to all users, regardless of their physical or mental impairments.
The awards were given the name TAW; it stands for the acronym in Spanish of the Web Accessibility Test (Test de Accesibilidad WEB) which was developed by CTIC to assess Internet pages.
