Introducing E-Check

In direct response to feedback from our members concerned about their ability to get their ICT right for disabled people, we have introduced a brand new complimentary member benefit, E-check.

E-check is a short, one-off expert accessibility and usability health check worth £350 that gives you an indication of whether disabled people might experience difficulties in using your websites. 

E-check is a first step in a proactive approach to accessibility. Other areas that you may wish to consider include:  publishing clear accessibility standards and guidance for developers and arranging user testing with groups of disabled people. We encourage you to share your intention to commission an E-check report, with your IT leads and disability or accessibility champions. This will help ensure a joined up approach to improving the accessibility of your ICT products and services.

We are offering E-check in partnership with EFD Associate, Rick Williams.  Freeney Williams Ltd is unique in offering: combined technical understanding of what makes a fully accessible website, access to a panel of disabled users who will test whether your website is easy to use, expertise in disability legislation and best practice in developing accessibility policies and procedures. 

How does E-check work?
