Case Study: University of Winchester improves intranet accessibility with HeX Productions

University of Winchester improves intranet accessibility with HeX Productions, auditing WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance

The University of Winchester required an in-depth accessibility review of its new intranet before its student launch. They needed to ensure the system was WCAG Level AA compliant and required a formal Accessibility Statement to accompany the audit. To address this challenge, the university enlisted HeX Productions to utilize its accessibility audit and consultancy services.

HeX Productions implemented a comprehensive solution involving both automated software scanning and manual testing with assistive technologies. This process identified key accessibility obstacles, which were detailed in a full report. HeX also created a tailored, compliant Accessibility Statement for the intranet. The results provided the university with a clear roadmap for fixes and invaluable evidence to challenge their intranet provider to meet accessibility agreements, ensuring the new system was as accessible as possible for all students and staff.
