ThemeWare® "Awards, seals or certificates" widget

Configuration

You can configure the "Awards, seals or certificates" widget in the theme configuration.

You can find the configuration in the "Widgets" tab.

Editing texts and links

You can change or translate the texts and links used in the widget using snippets.

You can find out which snippets are used in the corresponding help texts for the respective configurations. The snippets in the ThemeWare® help texts are linked so that you can go directly to the editor of the corresponding snippet.

You can also find an overview of the snippets used further down in this article.

Accessibility

Unfortunately, images such as certificates or seals that are integrated via the theme configuration do not automatically receive the alt text stored in the media management. To ensure that these images can still be integrated without barriers, ThemeWare® provides separate snippets for this purpose, which you can use individually.

Title

You can maintain the tooltip text (title attribute) using the following snippet:

• twt.widget.awards.customImage1.title

• twt.widget.awards.customImage2.title

• twt.widget.awards.customImage3.title

• twt.widget.awards.customImage4.title

• twt.widget.awards.customImage5.title

• twt.widget.awards.customImage6.title

The title is displayed on mouseover, but is not relevant for accessibility, as it is usually ignored by screen readers.

Alt attribute or Aria-Label

Whether you use the alt or the aria-label depends on whether the image is linked or not:

• Alt attribute (for non-linked images)

  • If the image is not linked, the alt.Text isintegrated directly into the img tag. This is controlled by the appropriate snippet.

• Aria label (for linked images)

  • If the image is linked to content, the alt attribute of the image remains empty (alt=""). Instead, the descriptive text is set directly on the <a> tag using an aria-label – because here the link carries the actual meaning and the images are for "decorative" purposes only.

Tip: Use alt and aria-label attributes to make your texts more detailed, specific and context-sensitive than the title text, for example.

Instead of just "SSL-encrypted", you could write, for example: "Your data is protected by SSL encryption". This also benefits screen reader users and at the same time makes it look more trustworthy for all visitors.
