Use of assistive technologies
Findings that hinder keyboard use
- Sivustolla on joitakin puutteita näppäimistön näkyvän kohdistuksen osalta. Esimerkiksi sivuston ylätunnisteessa kohdistus ei aina näy, jos taustalla oleva kuvan kontrasti ei riitä.
- WCAG criteria related to the issue: 2.4.7
Inconsistent navigation
- Sivustolla on käytetty otsikkotasoja paikoitellen epäjohdonmukaisesti. Esim. hierarkiassa saatetaan hypätä tasolta H3 tasolle H6.
- WCAG criteria related to the issue: 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 2.4.1
- Joillakin elementeillä visuaalinen järjestys ei vastaa, tämä saattaa hämmentää avustavia teknologioita käyttäviä henkilöitä
- WCAG criteria related to the issue: 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 2.4.1
Common usability issues
- Sivustolla esiintyy linkkejä, jotka saattavat viedä kävijän toiselle sivustolle ilman, että tästä on kerrottu kävijälle. Esimerkiksi tapahtumakalenterissa esiintyy tapahtumia eri sivustoilta.
- WCAG criteria related to the observation: 1.1.1, 2.4.4, 3.2.3
