03
process
To begin this review, I went through the pages manually and then used various evaluation tools to support and add to my findings.
04
Guidelines
To make my cases for improvement stronger, I used 4 design guidelines to support my findings.
- WCAG 2.2 up to Conformance AA
- GDS Do's and Don'ts in Designing for Accessibility
- Language-Light UX Design Guidelines
- Web Accessibility in Mind (WebAIM)
With these guidelines, I was able to state additional reasons why these errors can be detrimental to users with various impairments. Reasons ranged from individuals impacted to advice on avoiding design mistakes.
05
outcome
My findings and presentation deck earned a Distinction grade. Together with a few classmates, we volunteered to present 10 of our findings to the Royal Ballet and Opera’s Design Team in 2025.
It was a great opportunity to share our findings to aid in making their website more accessible, and we ALSO got a tour of the RBO office! 🤭
Feedback on my Accessibility Review and Presentation
You provide an excellent overview of accessibility issues of the RBO website, by using the wider context and appropriate guidelines to link to specific users (e.g. aphasia) and linking this to clear examples from the website identifying appropriate solutions.You demonstrate a high level of professionalism in your presentation, providing useful information to your client so that they can address the issues you identify appropriately... You have demonstrated learning outcomes of the assignment at the distinction level.
