Your website is accessible to a large number of users, so it’s important that everyone has the opportunity to use it. The accessibility requirements apply to private and public companies, teams and organizations that use websites to reach their target group.
Sveum Design follows the new requirements
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 describes the requirements for web solutions, and Sveum design follows these guidelines when developing new websites. You can therefore be sure that your website meets the requirements. We can also redesign your existing website and provide guidance on how to adapt your website to the new statutory requirements for universal design. It’s not just about accommodating people with disabilities. It’s about making the user experience better for everyone. You improve the user experience for those who only have time to read about your products on the bus on a small screen, those who are reluctant to read long, heavy texts or are stressed and have a lot else to think about, they maneuver around your website while sitting on their phone. You also improve your visibility in the search engines.
Universal design – easier for everyone, and you will most likely benefit from it.
What does accessibility have to do with your website?
What is universal design?
Universal design is all about designing your website to take into account the varying abilities of all people, including people with disabilities. When you create something that is universally designed, you reach all target groups through one and the same solution. This can be a way of increasing accessibility and user-friendliness for everyone, as well as ensuring that people with disabilities have equal access to your website.
Basic principles of universal design
- Equal opportunities for use: The design should be usable and accessible for people with different abilities.
- Flexible in use: The design should serve a wide range of individual preferences and capabilities.
- Simple and intuitive to use: The design should be easy to understand for everyone, and the experience, knowledge, language ability or concentration level of the user should not matter.
- Comprehensible information: The design should communicate the necessary information to the user in an effective way, regardless of environmental conditions or the user’s sensory capabilities.
- Tolerance for errors: The design should minimize unintended actions.
