Accessibility
user testing

Accessibility testing will help you understand the barriers some users face when navigating your website. We can work with a wide range of users with hearing, sight, mobility or cognitive impairments to test your website and provide you with valuable usability feedback. We will help you identify accessibility issues and provide the practical guidance and support to put them right, improving the overall quality of a service.

Meeting legal
requirements

In 2018, accessibility regulations came into force for public sector websites in the UK. The UK Government is now monitoring affected websites to check they follow the rules and aren’t breaking legal requirements. If you’ve received a demand letter from the Government Digital Service (GDS) website accessibility monitoring team, we can provide accessibility auditing, training and help fixing common errors.
