Accessibility for UX Frontend Designers - course package

Why is it important?

Why is it important to train in digital accessibility?

One major reason is that in the summer of 2025, a new law on accessibility will enter into force in Sweden. The law means that companies must now ensure that their websites, products and services are accessible to all customers. For public sector organisations, legislation is already in place and additional rules govern what applies internationally.

Knowledge of accessibility also brings business benefits - companies and organisations reach a wider customer base.
