Status of non-universally designed content
We have content on our site that isn't universally designed. We explain which content this refers to, why we don't comply with the regulations, and what this means for the user. It's presented in the same order as the WCAG 2.1 standard requirements.
The University of Bergen categorises content that isn't universally designed on datareisen.no as follows:
Principle 1: Perceivable
Information should be presented in a manner that users can perceive. This means that information should not be discernible through just one sensory organ. For instance, to view graphics, you need a screen and the sense of sight. Therefore, images should have alternative text, according to the WCAG. Text can also be presented in various ways, including braille, synthetic speech, on-screen, sign language interpretation, or symbols. Therefore, the WCAG requires text to be used as an alternative to audio, film, and images.
Principle 2: Operable
The web is interactive. It's crucial that users can navigate, select buttons, and tick checkboxes, using the equipment and assistive technology they possess. This means, for example, that using a mouse should not be the only way to interact with the website and its content. Additionally, all content and functionality should also be operable solely using a keyboard.
Principle 3: Understandable
The objective of websites is for users to understand how to use the pages and the information they are presented with. Therefore, a website should be predictable, using simple language, and offer good assistance functionality. Proper coding is crucial for the site to function with assistive technology; for instance, the correct language on the page ensures text is read correctly for users with speech synthesis.
Website testing and evaluation
We received external assistance for website testing and evaluation.
