Accessible digital services for every community

UX tips for public sector and not-for-profit teams to make digital experiences inclusive, compliant, and user-friendly.

Check your colour contrast

Poor contrast makes content unreadable for users with visual impairments. 

Use a WCAG tool:

Test pages with contrast checkers like Webaim or Stark (figma plugin). 

Fix low contrast text:

Adjust colour combinations to meet a minimum 4.5:1 ratio. 

Don’t rely on colour alone:

Use labels, icons, or patterns to convey meaning. 

Watch for background images:

Ensure text over images is still readable. 

Add meaningful alt text to images

Make your site keyboard-friendly

Use accessible form design

Support screen readers properly

Write in plain language

Caption and transcribe all media

Design for cognitive accessibility

Make links descriptive

Audit for accessibility regularly
