- Accessibility
-
We recognise that each of the major categories of disabilities (visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive) require certain types of modifications when designing web content. To meet government accessibility requirements, digital services must: meet Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG2.1) as a minimum.
- Creating Website Content
-
Content managers can lay out their websites in a variety of ways, promoting a flexible approach to web design that makes it easy to disseminate information clearly to both staff and the public. It is essential to focus on your key message and critical information. Users don’t want to be distracted by text or graphics that don’t aid them with their journey.
- Data Protection Impact Assessment
-
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a process to help you identify and minimise the data protection risks on your website. It is good practice to do a DPIA for tools such as Feedback Forms that require the processing of personal data, also for processing that is likely to result in risk to individuals.
- Graphics and Images
-
Creating the appropriate Image sizes for web pages is important. The size and resolution of an image has a huge effect on its display within your site & its download time. Using images as links is perfectly acceptable, but they do need some special attention such as relevant alt text.
