Accessibility of Kundo's product
At Kundo we take an active approach to accessibility. Website accessibility is a matter of ensuring that everyone can access information and use services. No one should be excluded or discriminated against, regardless of any disability. Our objective is to ensure that all elements of our product fulfil the technical requirements stipulated in WCAG 2.2 level AA.
To meet the accessibility requirements, technical solutions are needed that we at Kundo can take responsibility for. At the same time, for example, the design of content, language and color choices are at least as important to meeting the requirements for an accessible website. Non-technical criteria like these need to be your responsibility as an editor.
WCAG is the standard that most web accessibility laws point to. WCAG defines three levels of accessibility: (A, AA, AAA). (AA) is the level that we at Kundo work towards. It is also the level that the Web Development Guidelines, the official guidelines for how to work with websites in the public sector, advocate.
These guidelines are also what both the Discrimination Act, the Accessibility Directive and the DOS Act point to.
Accessibility of our products
We actively work to maintain a high standard of accessibility. Accessible solutions make use easier for all users, not just those who use the web with certain technical aids, such as a screen reader that reads out the information displayed on the screen. If you are a regular user, for example, a functioning keyboard navigation on the website can make your daily work both smoother and more efficient, while keyboard navigation is a requirement for a good experience with a screen reader.
Even Googlebot, the search engine that Google uses to index websites, benefits from solutions that make it easier for people with disabilities. An accessible website with a clear code description of the content can, in the same way that it makes it easier to use a screen reader on the website, make Googlebot interpret the content better. In this way, accessibility work can also be good for getting better placement in search engines (SEO).
Kundo offers several end-customerfacing products. Here is a list of accessibility statements for each of them.

How we tested accessibility
To ensure that our products comply with the accessibility guidelines, we conduct regular self-assessments and internal testing. During these tests, the product's functions and content are reviewed based on WCAG 2.2, and we use both manual tests and automated tools to identify and fix deficiencies in this.
In our work, we use:
Automated tools such as Axe, Lighthouse and WAVE to quickly detect technical deficiencies and deviations from the WCAG standards.
Manual testing, where we review the product's functionality and user experience from different perspectives, such as for users navigating with a keyboard, screen reader or other assistive devices.
Different devices and browsers to test compatibility and accessibility on different platforms, including mobile phones, tablets and different operating systems.
