How does Accessibility & WCAG connect with design, content, development and manual testing?

How does Accessibility & WCAG connect with design, content…

The connection matters because design, content, development and manual testing influence the same end-to-end experience. The resulting design system is now available and being used for the ActewAGL development and design teams to guide and speed up the delivery of their ongoing retail and platform transformation. Following a comprehensive design and content strategy the team implemented a design and content style guide. Annex's published capability model brings those concerns together so that a decision in one area does not quietly create a problem somewhere else in the service or platform.

Annex worked with the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) to provide independent testing of the newly built Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) website. The ART website testing was a short, tidy piece of w…

Annex's published work does not point to a single mandatory toolset for accessibility & wcag. Using Drupal 8 and its multilingual capability, the team created a website that can automatically translate English content into over 64 languages using google translate, and also allow manual human transla…
