Non-accessible content

Tehytk.fi largely meets the accessibility requirements. The website has room for improvement in the following issues:

  • alternative texts in the pop-up window of a third-party service (Hotjar)
  • text descriptions of images (alt texts)
  • automatic input of personal data into forms
  • contrast between text and menu and background image
  • values of Swedish-language content or certain visual elements for accessible technologies
  • some main menu buttons off-screen on the smallest screens
  • scaling of elements and texts
  • repetition of id values
  • use of search page filters with assistive technologies

Efforts will be made to correct the shortcomings listed here during 2022.
