Building accessible websites is not just about following legal requirements and checklists. It is about creating a better experience for all users. Still, it is easy for accessibility to fall between the cracks. Here we go through five of the most common accessibility mistakes that we often see and provide suggestions<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead more \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

On June 28, 2025, the digital landscape in the EU was fundamentally changed. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) came into force, which in Sweden became the new accessibility law. It is no longer only the public sector that must follow strict requirements for digital accessibility. Now, large parts of the private sector are also covered.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead more \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Digital exclusion remains one of the biggest, invisible problems of our time, with nearly 96 percent of the world's leading websites unnecessarily excluding people. Since our inception in 2023, we at Selma have been working to change this together with over 250 clients. Now, we are taking the next big step in our journey with investors who share our vision. With these investments, we gain the power to continue developing and make an even greater difference for an accessible internet.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead more \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t
