Case Study: Newark & Sherwood District Council achieves WCAG-compliant accessible web design with HeX Productions

Newark & Sherwood District Council boosts accessibility with HeX Productions, reaching 62% mobile users

Newark & Sherwood District Council, the local authority for the largest district in Nottinghamshire, needed to overhaul its main website to meet mandatory government accessibility standards. They engaged HeX Productions for an end-to-end accessibility solution, which included accessible design, development in the Terminalfour CMS, and comprehensive training.

HeX Productions designed and built a fully WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, service-oriented website, integrating accessible third-party applications and providing advanced editor training. The solution was rigorously tested by Shaw Trust Accessibility Services, resulting in the council achieving a Digital Accessibility Accreditation. The new mobile-responsive site, accessed by 62% of users on such devices, now offers an inclusive experience for all residents.
