Current accessibility status

Vaasan Opiskelijasäätiö’s web service does not fully meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA-level criteria in all aspects. Some of the issues are related to third-party developed add-ons. We are still working on improving the service.

Issues identified

1. Perceivable

Alternative texts are missing for property images. Heading levels on some pages do not follow the hierarchy. The cookie settings table lacks header labels. In some test cases, font size is defined using CSS with an absolute unit value, which may affect text enlargement in certain browsers.
