Larmbolaget’s Website : A Study on the Creation of an Accessible and Usable Website (English)
Abstract [en]

This paper accounts for the work with a website for a company whose real name will not be disclosed in the text of this paper. Instead, they have been assigned the fictitious name Larmbolaget, which can be translated as ‘The Alarm Company’.

During our work with Larmbolaget’s website, we consulted a selection of accessibility guidelines from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, developed by a working group within the World Wide Web Consortium, as well as a number of design principles and heuristics outlined in this paper. We also conducted several usability tests on users from our intended target group. All the measures taken were an effort to ensure that Larmbolaget’s website be as accessible and usable as possible.

Our conclusion is that the resulting website does comply with the accessibility guidelines and design principles described in this paper, and thus we consider it to be accessible and usable to a wide range of users, including those with disabilities.

Abstract [sv]

Den här rapporten redogör för arbetet med en webbplats åt ett företag vars riktiga namn inte avslöjas i texten i denna rapport. Istället har de tilldeltas det påhittade namnet Larmbolaget.

Under arbetet med Larmbolagets webbplats har vi tagit hänsyn till en utvald del av tillgänglighetsriktlinjerna i Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, utvecklade av en arbetsgrupp inom World Wide Web Consortium, samt ett antal designprinciper och heuristiker som vi sammanfattar i den här rapporten. Vi utförde även ett flertal användartester på användare inom vår tänkta målgrupp. Alla dessa åtgärder var ett försök att göra Larmbolagets webbplats så tillgänglig och användbar som möjligt.

Vår slutsats är att den resulterande webbplatsen följer de tillgänglighetsriktlinjer och designprinciper som beskrivs i den här rapporten, och således anser vi den vara tillgänglig och användbar för en stor mängd användare, inklusive dem med funktionshinder.
