Utvecklingen av en WordPress-webbplats med tillgänglighet i fokus

Sammanfattning: In today’s digitized society, it is not big news that the internet use in Sweden is large but also increasing every year. A large amount of the users, approximately 7,5 million people, have impairments in areas such as movement, motor skills, reading, understanding, seeing, hearing, concentration and memory. With such a large amount of the population present on the internet, there is a form of responsibility. This responsibility is based on making the usage of the millions of websites that can be visited by a user accessible and easy to use. In this project a WordPress website is developed for a company. The focus of the project is to develop with accessibility as the basis. An agile work process with increments and iterations is used in the project. After conducting an audience analysis, a sitemap, wireframes and a moodboard were created. Images were photographed and optimized while other graphic material was created. After that, design sketches were created by following web guidelines and gestalt laws. The coding was planned with flow charts and the website was created statically and then dynamically. Finally the website was tested in regards to functionality, responsiveness, compatibility with different browsers and a number of user tests were also conducted. All tests imply that the project has met the goals that were set and that the accessibility of the website is thus perceived as adequate. Furthermore, the ethical aspects that have been taken into account during the course of the project have been discussed. Lastly problems that have arisen and how they have been resolved have been analyzed. A discussion consisting of future improvements and final thoughts of the project concludes the report.
