Accessibility

Accessibility is about building products for everyone.
Society is changing for the better. People with different needs are increasingly given equal possibilities to live a life close to what is regarded as “normal”. Here you can read more about accessiblity, what it is and how the new EU laws of Accessible web applications affect product development in Visma.

Accessibility and Visma Unified Design

By using the VUD color palette and the VUD Web library you meet some of the accessibility requirements “for free”. Here you can read more about the requirements that are met by using these resources and what you need to think about yourself when you develop your product.

In addition to the accessibility features built into VUD's components, be sure to follow best practices for making your web application more accessible.
