Accessibility
Accessibility means that as many different people as possible can use online services as smoothly as possible. Accessibility is the consideration of the diversity of people in the design and implementation of online services. Accessibility is essential for some people and beneficial for all of us. Consideration of accessibility is usually also good planning.
Accessibility is linked to the European Union’s Accessibility Directive, which in turn refers to the criteria of the international WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
We are building up our new site, launched in September 2022, to meet the accessibility criteria. However, in the transition period some deficiencies may occur.
Accessibility statement
This accessibility statement applies to the archinfo.fi web service and was created on 2 September 2022. The service is subject to the law on the provision of digital services, which requires that public online services must be accessible. After the transition period when the new site is fully functional, the accessibility of the service will be assessed by an external expert organisation.
