Working with your Information Technology supplier

It is possible that your IT supplier is already informed and has a good understanding of what is required. This section is aimed at helping you have a more informed discussion and systematic approach.

  • What are your most commonly used internal and external pages? Your IT team should be able to provide this information quite easily.
  • Be clear about whether you are talking and thinking about your external website or the internal website of your organisation.
  • If cost is an issue, focus your attention on those sections where your organisation and people with disability will get the greatest benefit. These may be your most commonly used pages, but may also be the pages that suggest to potential applicants that your organisation is accessible, such as:
    • Online shopping site.
    • Company profile pages.
    • Recruitment and selection section and links.
    • Website accessibility guidance pages.
