Universal Design of Software Solutions Necessary for some, good for everyone
summary
Norway requires public IT to meet 35 of 61 WCAG 2.0 criteria; an audit ran ~26,000 tests across 278 sites and found only 60% overall compliance, with one site hitting 92%. The police website was rebuilt with universal design baked into each step: front‑ and back‑end QA, designer checks, formal pass/fail reviews, automated tools plus user tests with people with disabilities. Result: simplified menus, a larger searchable input with screen‑reader friendly suggestions, and measurable accessibility gains.
