Funka started as a project within the handicap movement. Today we hold pole position within the field of accessibility with over 80 percent of Sweden’s government authorities as customers. Since 2000 we are a privately owned company and our close relationship with the handicap movement guarantees a unique quality control.

Funkas work sets standards for both development and analysis as well as issues demands for accessibility. We are part of most international work groups of importance and we regularly perform surveys on our own initiative. Because of that Funka actively highlights accessibility in Sweden as well as within the EU.

Within the EU Funkas experts can, among other committees, be found in the committee for mandate 376. That’s the committee that works to include compulsory rules as demands of accessibility in public purchases and within that work also come to terms with common rules of certification to ensure that accessible websites and accessibility experts live up to their requirements. We also work towards standardization and usability at a national- as well as at an international level.

Funka regularly performs larger surveys regarding accessibility, most recently an interview survey regarding young patient’s outlook on life. Assigned by European Patients Forum, a non-profit organization representing 150 million European patients, Funka has interviewed young people who have a regular and lifelong contact with the medical service.

Assigned by Sweden’s government authority for handicap political collaboration, Handisam, Funka has surveyed EU: s member states government- and parliament websites. The surveys purpose was to measure who was to be considered the best in Europe and if there were any major differences between new and old member states as regards to accessibility.

In Sweden Funkas consultants had a major role in developing Handikappombudsmannens guiding principles for an accessible administration of state as well as Vervas Guidance for the 24-hour web. In the Guidance Funkas very own methodic regarding accessibility has been carefully included. Funka are also responsible for recommendations regarding keyboard shortcuts and icons.
