I am expecting the new "Skatteverket" page to look a lot nicer and more standardized with you on the team, you go dude!</p> Very well done, it is more often than not that I see poorly designed websites here in the US, and with that I don’t mean ugly layouts, graphics, long load times, etc, but accessibility is near impossible, i.e. you are not able to navigate easily throughout the site and if you are looking for information, sometimes something as simple as contact information, you are lucky if you find it within the first 60 minutes - that is, if you did not already give up and go to a competitor’s website.

There are numerous bad web standards compliant sites and numerous good web standard compliant sites. The same goes for design and accessibility.</p> <p>So a combination of usability metrics (like success rate, satisfaction and time to complete tasks) and the number of returning visitors should be the criteria. Then, how to measure this in a cost-effective way is another question.</p> <p>(Please Jens, take away this stupid mouse cursor for forms, its impossible to select a position within the text with it.)</p> Congrats Jens!

I do agree, hopefully web standards and accessibility will be an criteria in the future or even better, it is such a common thing that it does not need to be an criteria. But that is probably just wishful thinking.</p> Thanks, the cake was excelllent.

This is an interesting reflection. I guess the only ones that care about (or are loud enough to express their opinion) standards code and accessibility are us bloggers/standards web developers…
