NSPCC: Accessibility

January 27th, 2009
NSPCC website

NSPCC website

As part of the NSPCC’s on-going new media strategy, we are:london was employed to audit fifteen of the NSPCC’s most critical sites for accessibility compliance and make recommendations to ensure all sites could be brought into line with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

The Project

With such a vast audience for their sites, ensuring access to all information for every user is crucial. The need for accessible websites is compounded by the fact that one of the NSPCC’s most vulnerable audiences is children with disabilities.  A number of the sites were due for a design overhaul as part of the ongoing content management implementation programme.

we are:london recommended the following services:

  • Accessibility - our tools and techniques look at your service from the user’s perspective and ensure it’s legally compliant.
  • Competitive review - a comparative assessment of how your offering stacks up against the competition can help with strategic development and will also identify areas in need of improvement.
  • Usability Research - find out how your customers behave on your site through our extensive research techniques.

Outcome

Using automatic and customisable tools in parallel with we are:london’ s accessibility audit a full review was undertaken of the main sites.  All changes were then implemented to budget and to deadline.
