Hi Jane,
There have been about 10 posts this week on the charity web forum
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/charitywebforum/ about this
specific topic of accessibility and user testing. With agency details and
consultants being suggested. It might be worth posting this message there
too.
Kind regards
Jude

Subject: Accessibility Audits
Hi there,
I am looking into carrying out an accessibility audit on the Culture24
site www.culture24.org.uk and I would appreciate any thoughts on best
practice for this.
The site has been built to achieve AA accessibility standards (W3C-WAI
compliance standards) and to strive for AAA wherever possible. However
whilst this is obviously very important and any audit would need to
address and check this compliance, I am keen to explore wider ideas of
good practice that go beyond just technical compliance. Things like
adding sign language translations, viewing the site on a variety of
platforms or use of language.
My questions are:
- what examples of good practice might we consider?
- what might the cost be to employ a consultant to do this kind of work?
How many days?
- can you recommend anyone specific to do this kind of work?
Any advice anyone could give would be very helpful.
Thanks, Jane
