Shortcomings observed in the online service

Semantic headline structure

H1–H4 tags used in headlines are missing levels, since the anchor/jump links of the site are implemented as H2-headlines and non-anchor/jump links are implemented as H3-headlines. Because of this, the next headline following H1-headline is either H2 or H3.

Calendar embedding

Google Calendar embedded on the website www.joensuu.fi/ohjaamo doesn’t meet accessibility requirements.

Video content

Meetings of the City Council is streamed live in YouTube in address www.youtube.com/joensuunkaupunki. The meetings can be watched also afterwards in the same address. The live streamings or recordings of the Council’s meetings aren’t subtitled because this would constitute an unacceptable burden. Other videos published by the City are subtitled. The agendas and decisions of the City Council’s meetings can be read online: Read agendas and minutes (in Finnish)

PDF files

All the PDF files aren’t yet accessible.

Images lack alternative descriptions

The alt text is missing from some of the images.

Text contrast does not meet minimum requirements

The iFrame element does not have an accessible name

Embedded google maps does not have an accessible name.
