Accessibility of the services Zoocha design for our clients is of paramount importance and something all team members are trained and empowered to ensure. Zoocha’s Head of Front-end and our Head of UX are accessibility experts and we employ a range of tools and approaches to ensure our service design projects conform to the highest achievable level of accessibility.
Working with our clients we aim to build websites that are AA accessible by default. This means utilising inclusive design patterns (such as the GDS design standards) from the initial stages of any project. This begins at Information Architecture stages, where we consider the navigability of solutions for persons navigating the site with assistive technologies. As we move through the project lifecycle we will test to ensure compliance; this would normally take the form of testing prototypes with screen readers, ensuring logical tab order, colour and contrast accessibility utilising online tools. We also have our own internal tools setup in the form of a pA11y reporting server which monitors accessibility compliance in our codebase and will report issues and indicate areas of regression so we can be entirely sure our code meets the required levels of accessibility.
Our team are trained and experienced in understanding the digital by default standards, service design manual and latest industry best practice to design and build new fully accessible services.
Zoocha UK are based on the second floor of a Grade II listed building, that does not have accessible access provision to our office, nor accessible facilities. We are in discussion with the landlord about improving accessible access and facilities. In the event that we need to meet, we can come to you, where you’re most comfortable. If this isn’t possible we do have access to several accessible meeting space locations within Hertford which are able to host meetings.
Our offices in Spain and Brazil both have accessible access and facilities.
