Digital accessibility research and making PDFs accessible
'Here it is real! We look out for each other, work together.' That is the motto of the municipality of Hilvarenbeek. The North Brabant municipality consists of six village centres with a total of 15,000 inhabitants.
Assignment
The municipality of Hilvarenbeek finds it important that everyone can make good use of all information on their digital channels. Our digital accessibility specialists therefore examined their new website for accessibility according to the WCAG 2.1 AA standard. This was followed by a re-check after the municipality resolved the findings of the survey. In addition, our specialists made a series of the municipality's online PDF files digitally accessible.
“The contact with Swink is always very personal with short lines of communication. They think along with you. I would therefore definitely recommend them to other municipalities.”

Extraordinarily fine by Swink
The municipality wanted to know more about how to make a PDF file accessible itself. So the municipality used consultancy where they could ask questions about this and one of our experts explained.
Swinker speaking
“It was very nice to see that at the recheck after a few weeks, many accessibility issues had been resolved. That's when you see that something really is done with your report, that it makes the website more accessible for everyone.”
