We are constantly working to ensure accessibility
The accessibility of the online service creates equal opportunities for everyone to use the service.
We pay attention to accessibility in all site content and maintenance work. We have also designed functions on the pages that are not required by law but that make it easier for different user groups to use the service. For example, the “listen to the content” function will be introduced on the pages.
For an easy and accessible user experience, we have commissioned user testing in addition to the accessibility audit. In a study, we investigated how real users assess the usability of an almost complete site and the discoverability of information. Some of the site’s testers represented special groups.
The test indicated that on average it was quite easy to find the information searched from the pages, and especially content that had been worked on a lot were rated high. On the basis of the study, we will continue to focus on careful content production and correct the technical deficiencies that have been highlighted.
