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

University of Winchester improves website accessibility for 7,000+ students with HeX Productions

The University of Winchester approached HeX Productions to conduct an accessibility audit of their website to identify problems faced by disabled users and assess its compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.

HeX Productions delivered a comprehensive solution involving automated scanning, manual testing with assistive technology, and a technical review. This process identified critical issues, such as JavaScript render-blocking that prevented screen reader access. HeX provided a detailed report and created a compliant accessibility statement using a GOV.UK template, helping the university align with public sector regulations. The audit and statement provided a clear roadmap for fixes, increasing transparency and enabling better digital access for all students and staff.
