designed using web standards and built with accessibility in mind

This website has been designed and built with modern, web-standards technologies. Using XHTML and CSS means that the site is built to last well into the future as well as making the content available to older browsers and other alternative devices such as screen-readers for people with visual disabilities. Users navigating the Access Sweden site with a screen reader may use the skip link to jump directly to the page content.

The Access Sweden site uses relative font sizing making it easier for users to alter the appearance of the text to suit their needs.

We have tried our best to make this site usable by as many people as possible. Whilst we know that it's impossible to design a site that everyone can use, constructing this site with accessibility in mind means that more people can access the content. The Access Sweden site meets accessibility guidelines set by the WAI and the RNIB.
