What is digital accessibility?
Digital accessibility means that everyone should have equal access to digital services, including users with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive disabilities. For instance, the content should be easy to read and understand, and easily accesible through various aids.
The law on accessibility to digital public service
The websites of all public sector authorities must conform to the Swedish law on accessibility to digital public service, which applies to goteborg.com. The law is based on the international standard for web content accessibility WCAG 2.1 level AA.

The public company Göteborg & Co is responsible for goteborg.com. We want the website to be easily accessible to as many people as possible. Here you can learn more about the issues that exist and how you can report problems.
How accessible is goteborg.com?
We know that parts of the website are not entirely accessible, and we are working towards adjusting the following issues.
General issues
- The website uses frames (iframes) on some pages to retrieve content from other websites. Some of these are not accessible.
- Some parts of the navigation rely entirely on JavaScript.
- Descriptions of missions and activities are on a different domain and descriptions are available in the footer but not under a consolidated page.
- Telephone numbers are not links with “tel:”
- Not all parts of the website have been tested with keyboard navigation and some parts of the website cannot be reached via keyboard.
Issues when using the website without vision/with impaired vision/with impaired colour vision
- Some interactive graphic elements are not large enough, have too low contrast against their background, and lack labels and/or descriptive text.
- Some links on the site lack more visual elements than color to distinguish themselves from other text.
- Some images, logos, and other non-text media lack alternative texts or labels.
- Some images have text in the image.
- In some cases, both in text and other elements, the contrast is too low against the background. The user is not given the option to affect the contrast.
- The filenames of some files are not descriptive enough.
- Some links have substandard link text that does not describe what is being linked to.
