I based my work on the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) — an international framework for universal design in digital solutions.
With guidance from the Norwegian Digital Accessibility Authority, I evaluated elements such as navigation, structure, contrast, text alternatives, and keyboard navigation against the requirements.
In addition, I conducted a heuristic evaluation based on Jakob Nielsen’s ten usability principles.
These principles helped me assess how intuitive, consistent, and error-preventive the solution is, and how well it supports users’ needs in practice.
The goal of the analysis was to evaluate how well the websites meet accessibility and usability standards — identifying strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement to create a better user experience.
To ensure a comprehensive and well-founded evaluation, I combined international standards, national guidelines, and user-centered principles.
I applied both manual testing and the following tools:
WAVE – an accessibility tool that visualizes interface issues such as low contrast and missing alternative text.
Lighthouse – a Google Chrome tool that analyzes a website’s accessibility, performance, and SEO. It provides an overall score along with detailed suggestions for improvement.

The goal is to assess how well the websites meet current standards and to ensure an optimal user experience by identifying key strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.
The project was completed in collaboration with a fellow student. We divided the responsibilities between us, and I was in charge of my part of the process — from selecting methods to conducting the evaluation and documenting the results.
Arbeidet inkluderte idéutvikling, wireframing i Figma, prototyping, og iterativ brukertesting. Jeg la vekt på strukturert informasjonsarkitektur og tydelig hierarki for å sikre en sømløs kjøpsopplevelse.
