Technical information about accessibility

This website is partially accessible according to the WCAG 2.1 level AA standard. The following deficiencies have been identified:

The ability to skip grouped content is missing in some places.
For screen reader users, there are unnecessarily many steps to product information.
The focus order in the checkout is incorrect – gift cards and summary come after the payment button.
The heading structure is sometimes illogical, and some heading-like texts are not coded as headings.

Screen reader users receive unclear confirmation when purchasing.

When text is enlarged (200%), some menu options are hidden.
In horizontal mode on mobile, some menu options are hidden.
Insufficient contrast between text and background image (Some images, check back later when new images are in place)

The purpose of some links is unclear.
English texts on Swedish pages lack the correct lang attribute.
Some alt texts are missing or unclear.
There are some text components that chop up the text for screen readers.
Clue texts are sometimes unclear.
Forms lack clear error messages and feedback when entering data.
It is unclear which fields are mandatory.

Some components require swipe gestures in mobile view, which may be difficult to use for some users.

Unclear purchase confirmation for screen reader users.

What we are doing to address the shortcomings

We have begun work on improving accessibility and are planning the following measures:

Introduce more "skip content" links to facilitate keyboard navigation.
Adjust the focus order in the checkout.
Improve the heading structure and ensure that heading-like texts are correctly coded.
Reduce the number of steps for screen reader users to reach product information.

Implement clear feedback during purchases and product selection for screen readers.
Improve forms with clear error messages and feedback during input.
Make it clear which fields are mandatory.
Adjust components that cause choppy reading in screen readers.

Ensure that menu options are visible when text is enlarged (200%) and in horizontal mobile mode.
Check and improve contrast between text and background images (after image refresh).
Clarifying and supplementing alt texts.
Improve form prompts and correctly link them to input fields.

Mark up English texts with the correct lang attribute on Swedish pages.
Clarify the purpose of links.
Replace swipe gestures in mobile view with clickable alternatives where possible.
