This journal article examines the impact of new EU regulations on Norwegian municipality websites over a 3 year period. The enhanced regulation led to a decrease in accessibility errors and most WCAG errors decreased as well. For example, low contrast errors showed a significant drop. However, other errors like missing form labels increased over the same period. Accessible templates might be a way to address the large number of remaining errors in the future. #accessibility
