I can thoroughly recommend Neil Pawley at foolproof.co.uk, who has recently completed a very helpful accessibility review of our EH Archves site, due to go live in March/April

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
