Accessibility statement

Everyone should be able to use Places.nu. Because we serve municipalities, national parks, visitor centres, and other public organisations, we aim to meet EN 301 549 v3.2.1 and the applicable WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA requirements — not only the lower private-sector minimum.

Principles we follow

  • Perceivable — Information and interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
  • Operable — Interface components and navigation must be operable.
  • Understandable — Information and operation of the user interface must be understandable.
  • Robust — Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

How we work

  • Universal design is part of ongoing product development and maintenance.
  • We fix accessibility issues as we find them and when users report them.
  • We review this statement periodically and update it when our status changes.

Compliance status

Partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA as of July 2026.

Our marketing pages, community calendar, and standalone place and event pages are the strongest areas today. Known gaps include interactive map exploration (keyboard and screen reader access to the map canvas), some mobile panel interactions, and quality of user-uploaded images and text.

Non-accessible content and alternatives

Where the interactive map is difficult to use with assistive technology, you can often access the same information through:

  • The community calendar view (event list)
  • Standalone place and event pages with clean URLs (optimised for search and AI)
  • Contacting us if you need help accessing specific content

Help us improve

If you discover accessibility barriers, need an alternative format, or have suggestions for improvement, please email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Accessibility”. We read all feedback and use it to prioritise fixes.

For municipality customers

A formal supplier assessment on uuStatus.no is planned so municipalities can publish their own accessibility declarations based on our evaluation. Until that is published, contact [email protected] for procurement documentation.
