Case Study: Kirklees Council achieves deeper accessibility insights with Silktide

Kirklees Council improves accessibility across 52 websites with Silktide

Kirklees Council, managing a large digital estate of 52 websites, sought to improve the oversight and accessibility of its online services. The challenge was moving from using a wide range of individual tools to a more comprehensive and manageable solution for their team of accessibility enthusiasts. They turned to Silktide and its automated accessibility testing platform to gain valuable insights into their sites' quality metrics.

Silktide implemented its manual accessibility auditing service alongside its automated platform to provide extra depth to the council's testing. The solution uncovered critical, previously unknown issues, such as a cookie settings button that was inaccessible to keyboard users. The detailed report and subsequent workshop provided a rigorous analysis and created actionable work packages for the team. Kirklees Council found the service to be very good value for money, providing a much greater understanding of their website and the ability to make significant improvements.
