Website Accessibility tips

  • Ensure the website & the content you upload is accessible
  • Define your Accessibility Statement and include the things you know are not accessible – 3rd party documents, content older than 2018
  • Avoid using ‘accessibility plugins’ to achieve compliance – they aren’t enough
  • Have a checking process – use the free browser checker Wave by WEBAIM to check as you go
  • Make sure any forms are web page forms, not documents
  • Consider commissioning an accessibility audit to understand your position
  • Consider commissioning a purpose-built website from council website experts, Aubergine, that's .gov.uk-ready and fully compliant from £499 + VAT
