Case Study: South Lakeland District Council improves website accessibility compliance with HeX Productions

South Lakeland District Council improves accessibility compliance with HeX Productions via WCAG 2.1 audit and GOV.UK statement

South Lakeland District Council needed to understand if their website met WCAG 2.1 requirements and required an accessibility assessment and statement. They contacted HeX Productions directly and awarded them the contract via a tender process for their expertise in accessibility auditing.

HeX Productions conducted an automated and manual audit using assistive technology, identifying key obstacles for users. They then created a GOV.UK compliant accessibility statement. The solution provided the council with a clear report and a live demonstration of the issues, which emphasized the impact of inaccessible features and provided a roadmap for compliance with the Public Sector Accessibility Regulations 2018.
