Case Study: Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) achieves accessible, WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant dispute resolution with HeX Productions

CEDR achieves Accessibility Services Digital Accreditation with HeX Productions

The Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) needed an accessibility audit for its Water Redress Scheme (WATRS) website. After an initial audit by Shaw Trust Accessibility Services identified issues, CEDR approached HeX Productions for development support to fix the accessibility problems and make the site compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

HeX Productions implemented a unique solution, creating accessible workarounds within the site's restrictive page builder. The team developed accessible layouts, navigation, and bespoke elements like searchable databases. As a result, the WATRS website earned a Digital Accessibility Accreditation from Shaw Trust, ensuring it is usable for all visitors, including those relying on assistive technology.
